Camden Council proposes some improvements in Avenue Road as the result of the CRISP on LCN+ Link 26.

They say:

• Each day an average of 150 cyclists ride south along Avenue Road (from Adelaide Road to Norfolk Street) between 8am and 10am and 40 cyclists between 2pm and 6.30pm. We are concerned about the safety of cyclists due to vehicles parking and leaving the residents’ parking bays along this section of Avenue Road. Also, these parking bays are not fully used (about 75% are empty during the morning peak period).

They propose to extend the start of the southbound cycle lane to the corner of Avenue Road, just before the junction with Adelaide Road. And they're proposing to remove parking bays to make room.

They also propose to build raised entry treatments on Elsworthy Road and Queen’s Grove, at their junctions with Avenue Road.

Notes on CRISP recommendations

• It is recommended to refresh and widen the northbound advisory cycle lane to 1.5m, using 150mm lane markings and to extend cycle lanes across side roads to maintain continuity. (Not included)
• Extend cycle lanes across side roads to maintain continuity.
• Provide raised entry treatments at side road junctions to slow drivers down before reaching the junction. (included)
• Review location and necessity of parking bays on east side. (included)
• Gateway treatment to identify to traffic entering a residential area, (i.e colour treatment surfacing, vehicle speed reduction signs especially near schools, etc). (Not included)
• Provide waiting area at junction of Elsworthy Road / Avenue Road / Queens Grove. (Meaning?)
