Lambeth Council  has developed a range of improvements for walking and cycling along Rosendale Road, as part of the Brockwell Park to Gipsy Hill Healthy Route project and they want your views on the designs.

The main changes proposed on Rosendale Road with the planned design are:

• Public realm improvements; with 35 new trees, 21 new benches, 7 new planters, 55 new cycle parking stands and new areas of greening for sustainable drainage.
• Providing 11 new zebra crossings for pedestrians, 5 with parallel cycling provision, to improve walking and cycling conditions along the road.
• Approximately 57 informal car parking spaces are being removed along the route and the left turn from Rosendale Road into Turney Road is being banned, to provide the crossing improvements.
• A new segregated two-way cycle track along Rosendale Road between Brockwell Park and Myton Road. This will be delivered as a mix of stepped cycle track and parking-protected cycle track.
• Removal of the roundabouts at Rosendale Road/Turney Road and Rosendale Road/Park Hall Road, to improve road safety for cyclists and pedestrians.
• New blended crossings at all side road junctions beside the cycle track. These will slow down vehicles entering or exiting side roads and encourage vehicles to give way to pedestrians crossing the road. Tactile paving will be provided at all side road crossing points to assist blind or partially sighted pedestrians.
• New traffic calming along Rosendale Road with speed humps and raised tables at junction to reduce general traffic speeds

There are also changes proposed at the TfL junction of Rosendale Road and Thurlow Park Road:

• A new segregated two-way cycle track through the junction, which will tie in with the proposed cycle track on Rosendale Road.
• Two-stage right turns for cycling at the junction, with shared use footways on the south-east corner to accommodate right-turning cycles.
• To deliver the cycle track at the junction and the other improvements along Rosendale Road, we need to ban the following turning movements at the Rosendale Road and Thurlow Park Road junction:
• The left and right turn for general traffic from the north arm of Rosendale Road.
• The right turn for buses from the south arm of Rosendale Road.
