Bit concerning to see a @Royal_Greenwich employee telling @KateM45 she’s not allowed to film him as he drives down the wrong side of Vanbrugh Hill in a council vehicle. I trust the council will take this seriously. @MPSGreenwich

⁦Vanburgh hill - a fatal accident waiting to happen. Crossing is terrifying due to drivers coming around the blind bend at speed or using the wrong side of the road- like this guy who told me it was allowed because they are ⁦@Royal_Greenwich⁩ security. @DanLThorpe⁩

@Chris_C_Lloyd Well said Chris. Having lived in a rat-running area (Christchurch Way/Azof St/Bellot St) before and after it became an LTN in the 90's, the difference was amazing. Supported @EGRA_London calls for LTN's in Pelton and Walnut Tree Roads to stop rat-running because of that.

@RichardT135 @deptforddame @EGRA_London For years in the 90's both lifts were decommissioned as they were being rebuilt. Got very used to carrying a bike up and down the nearly 100 stairs at either end. That was then. Couldn't imagine trying to do it with a much heavier electric bike.

Hard to believe that in London, in 2021, we have no cycle route crossing the Thames east of Tower Bridge. Even worse, there are no funded proposals to construct one. It could be done. It just needs political leadership.

On Monday, February 1st, the Province of Groningen officially opened the longest bicycle and pedestrian bridge in Europe. The €6.5 million, 3.5 meter wide, 800 meter long Pieter Smitbrug provides an active travel link between Winschoten and Blauwestad. youtube.com/watch?v=ER2Q3-…

Greenwich society and EGRA gardeners joining residents of Highbridge Wharf in planting the beds in front of Trinity Almshouses on the Thames Path. Huge thanks to @theroyalparks Greenwich for the many wonderful bedding plants and @growingforgold for plants and tools.

@RichardT135 Biggest issue is the crossing at Rodmere Street. Pedestrian light green for 5 seconds - no red light to stop cars still in the junction driving through as pedestrians try to cross.

This seems to be and last major task near Blackwall Lane junction. Looks like footpath being realigned before new bus stop installed. Fingers crossed, cycle lane will be finished and open by end November / early December.

Important update following enquiries made by @mtpennycook. Greenwich cycle lane (phase I) completion was delayed while awaiting delivery of materials. Latest completion date ‘early November’. Work expected to start on phase II later this month. 🙂 @EGRA_London @AndrewSeeds

Two months ago, work started on building a new cycle way heading east from Greenwich Town Centre. Whilst there are mixed views for and against the scheme, there are also questions about the pace, quality and safety of the building work which is still ongoing. A thread...

One thing I think drivers don't get is that the inconvenience they're experiencing from school streets, LTNs and cycle lanes is miniscule in comparison to the inconvenience other road users have been asked to take for the benefit of drivers over the years.
