INFORMATIVE

 

1.  The LBH would like to emphasize the importance of providing a high quality link from Victoria Park to the Greenaway.  This link will be vital in ensuring that Hackney is connected to the Greenway and beyond.  It is understood that this link is being dealt with in accordance with Schedule 12 of the Olympic Park outline planning permission and that a feasibility study on the link has been commissioned by the ODA Transport Team.  The LBH would like some assurances that this link will indeed be provided and will be designed as a permanent scheme to give a lasting legacy benefit.

 

2.  The LBH considers the management of cyclists’ speed along the Greenway paramount to promoting the safe and continued usage of the Greenway, especially as the Greenway will essentially be used by both pedestrians and cyclists in a shared manner.  Further information is requested to fully understand what measures, whether they be managed or physical, are proposed, both during Games Mode and Legacy Mode, to control the speed of cyclists using the Greenway.
