Our correspondence to TfL, Local Representatives and E-Bike Operators

Dear TFL, local political representatives and e-hire bike companies

 

In association with Norwood Forum, I would like to ask for better cycling provision in the Norwood area. This would include safe cycling infrastructure in a joined up network with considerations at junctions and also better storage and parking facilities, including modified bikes such as cargo bikes. I would like to see the extension of hire bike options, including the Santander hire bike network extending to this area. 

 

I am aware of the proposals to extend the Rosendale Cycle Lane. Could you let me know what other changes are planned once funding is obtained? What is the time frame to progress the Streatham to Peckham Healthy Route for example and what are your plans for Norwood Road, another designated healthy route, be more cycling friendly? 
 

Waiting lists for on street bike storage are long. How do you intend to meet this clear demand? What strategies do you have in place for modified bike storage and parking? I note the successful introduction of the BonVelo ‘ourbike’ which quickly became the most popular in London. What plans do you have to roll out more in the Norwood area to meet this evident demand?

 

Also copied, e-hire bike companies. I understand the increase in designated parking locations but these are still lacking near major amenities, including stations. How do you intend to increase and manage demand at these locations with consideration for all road users?
