Hyde Park ward Councillors have been working for some time with concerned local stakeholders and Westminster and Transport for London officers to finalise designs for the East West Cycle Superhighway around Lancaster Gate
The removal of the Gyratory will mean this is no longer an urban roundabout and it will improve the area for residents and all pedestrians. We are particularly pleased that we secured TfL agreement to include a safe crossing to Sussex Square, for easier access to the lovely garden, and a zebra crossing on Stanhope Terrace which will help pedestrians and slow traffic on this busy road. Revision of the original design also means that it is safer for the horses going from Bathurst Mews to Hyde Park.
Although unfortunately trees are to be removed during the works, which have begun on site, a greater number of replacement trees will be planted in the area. Our thanks to all the locals who contributed so much during the discussions.
