There is so much more that could be done to encourage, support and make cycling safer

Consultation on Islington's draft Transport Strategy

Dear Consultation on Islington's draft Transport Strategy,

I am very concerned at the lack of ambition in this, in particular there should be more to support cyclists.

There should be a Target for commutes by cycle.

There should be a commitment to reduce air pollution.

Speed is a killer on Islington roads, the 20mph speed restriction should be enforced more.

There aren't enough secure places to lock up bikes, particulary at tube stations like Cally Road.

We could also benefit from more Tfl hire bikes, particulary at hubs and parks, like Caledonian Park with the Tennis Centre and football pitches.

As a Holloway resident, both holloway and seven sisters roads are nightmares.

There needs to be more bike lanes.

There is so much more that could be done to encourage, support and make cycling safer

British Waterways is having good discussions with Islington Council, Islington Living Streets, Islington Cyclists Action Group, the Friends of Regents Canal, Hanover Primary School, TfL and others to promote safer and more attractive east-west cycling routes on borough roads for cyclists looking for quick routes, to help relieve congestion along the Regents Canal towpath where pedestrians have priority. @TowpathRanger
