Progress at last on the “Killer Crossing”
After months of prevarication by Tory Mayor, Boris Johnson, Terry, John and Laura’s campaign for safety improvements to the cycle and pedestrian crossing over Holloway Road between Fieldway Crescent and Madras Place is at last bearing fruit. LibDem GLA member Caroline Pidgeon who has been campaigning alongside the three Highbury East Councillors has now been told by one of Boris’ advisers “that deliverable options could exist to enable us to provide a facility for pedestrians and cyclists without impacting on other road users”.
Translated into English, that appears to mean that they can make the crossing safer and they are at last working on what they call “interim designs” for the improvements, which they have promised to show us by the end of June. Interim designs are not the same as moving the traffic lights but at least it is some progress and Terry, John and Laura will be keeping on the pressure to make sure that Boris’ creaking bureaucracy finally delivers the results local councillors and residents have been campaigning for.
