As the online consultation is a bit of a nightmare to access and does not ask the right questions, it might be preferable for some to do it in a more succinct way by in writing by letter or email which is permittedEMAIL: Haveyoursay@tfl.gov.uk or FREEPOST TFL HAVE YOUR SAY If you prefer, you can email your comments to haveyoursay@tfl.gov.uk or write to us at FREEPOST TFL HAVE YOUR SAY (Walking and cycling changes between Hounslow and Brentford), no stamp needed.The closing date for comments is 16 February 2022.Pasted below is part of the detail ( cannot get the maps to load or post here)Just the bit from Syon to Brentford.Note: Whilst the document refers to pedestrian islands it has changed the term for "Bus Islands" to "Bus Bypass". Rather misleading. They are in fact, Elongated Islands and render passengers standing close to moving traffic on both sides. An example of which is in Chiswick High Road near the police station.Map 11 – London Road (Teesdale Avenue/Darcy Road/Teesdale Gardens/Quakers Lane)Teesdale Avenue, Darcy Road and Teesdale Gardens – new crossing markings and raised table to slow traffic, and give priority to cyclists and pedestriansThe Green School bus stop (westbound) would be relocated 31 metres west to enable it to be converted to a bus stop bypassThe existing 7 metre parking bay opposite no. 297 London Road to the east of Darcy Road would be converted to footpathA Red Route loading bay to the west of Darcy Road on the southern side would also be removedSection 4 – Syon Park (maps 12-15)Map 12 – London Road (Spur Road/Twickenham Road)Further detailed work is required on the designs at this location but our the aim is to:improve cycle links between London Road, Twickenham Road and Spur Roadimprove pedestrian crossingsprovide an additional loading bay and motorcycle bayAt this stage, we propose that the Green School bus stop (eastbound) would be moved around 45 metres east to enable it to be converted into a bus stop bypass4Map 13 – London Road (Lodge Close/Epworth Road/Syon Lane/Abbey Mews)Lodge Close and Syon Lane – new crossing markings and raised tables to slow traffic, and give priority to cyclists and pedestriansBusch Corner bus stop (westbound) converted to bus stop bypassSyon Lane bus stop (eastbound) converted to bus stop bypassEpworth Road would be closed to create a new pedestrian space. Motorvehicles can still access the road via Syon LaneMap 14 – London Road (Rowan Road/Beech Avenue)Rowan Road and Beech Avenue – new crossing markings and raised table to slow traffic, and give priority to cyclists and pedestriansSyon Lane bus stop (westbound) moved further west by around 23 metres to enable it to be converted to a bus stop bypassBeech Avenue bus stop (eastbound) would be removed as there is not enough room for a bus stop bypass without removing several mature treesMap 15 – London Road (Half Moon Close/Field Lane Road/Teesdale Gardens)A safer cycle link to Half Moon Close would be provided via a modified Toucan crossing and shared use footwayField Lane, Half Moon Lane, Brent Lea and other side roads – new crossing markings and raised tables to slow traffic, and give priority to cyclists and pedestriansBrent Lea bus stop (westbound) would be converted to a bus stop bypassBrent Lea bus stop (eastbound) would be moved 56 metres east to enable itto be converted to a bus stop bypassSection 5 – Brentford High Street (maps 16-18)Map 16 – Brentford High Street (Commerce Road/The Ham/Augustus Close/Tallow Road)A safer cycle link to Commerce Road would be provided via a shared use path for both pedestrians and cyclists, and a Toucan crossing across the High Street. The ‘staggered’ (two-stage) pedestrian crossing across Commerce Road would be improved to become a ‘straight across’ Toucan crossingThe Ham – a new junction with traffic lights would be implemented by Ballymore as part of their development. This new signalised junction would have improvements for cyclistsAugustus Close and Tallow Road – new crossing markings and raised tables to slow traffic, and give priority to cyclists and pedestrians. The pavement at Augustus Close would be widened. The traffic lights at Tallow Road would be changed to give priority to cyclists ahead of motor vehiclesThe loading bay on the northern side of the High Street to the west of Tallow Road would be moved 27 metres east5Map 17 – Brentford High Street (Market Place/Half Acre/Dock Road)Market Place – new crossing markings and raised table to slow traffic, and give priority to cyclists and pedestriansThe pedestrian crossing to the east of Market Place would be moved 10 metres west to allow more room for the Market Place bus stop (westbound)Pavements would be widened along the southern side of the high streetWider pedestrian crossings would be introduced at the Half Acre junction toimprove pedestrian safetyDock Road entrance – new crossing markings and raised table to slow traffic,and give priority to cyclists and pedestriansThe Market Place bus stop (westbound) would be moved 25 metres west toenable it to be converted to a bus stop bypassAn existing loading bay on the southern side of the high street would bemoved 19 metres west to make room for the cycle track21 metres of parking bays would be moved from the southern to the northernfootway, prior to the Market Place bus stop. This is because there would not be enough space for them with a westbound cycle trackMap 18 – Brentford High Street (Alexandra Road)The cycle lane would link to an existing cycle lane further east (Cycleway 9 Brentford to Olympia which went out to public consultation in 2017)Note - access to driveways and residential developments along the main road would be maintained
