CCC's 'Interim Transport Plan' Proposals: June 1999

The Camden Cycling Campaign was asked by the council to contribute to Camden's Interim Transport Plan (ITP), which is a document the council is obliged to submit to the government outlining its traffic management plans, safety schemes, and requirements for government funds. So here it is... the Campaign's proposals to safeguard our borough's future!

Bike 2001

The Bike 2001 was formulated by a handful of key Campaign members, following a request from councillors for an analysis of the problems encountered by cyclists, and a structured report which presented recommendations on how the council could address the issues arising. Bike 2001 was presented to Camden Council in October 1997. The Council started work on its Camden Cycle Plan in 1999, which drew heavily upon this document.

Cycle lanes past traffic islands: Feb 2003

This policy was formulated following a council officer proposal to discontinue advisory cycle lane markings as they passed by pedestrian refuges (centre of road traffic islands) in Malden Road, NW5; the officer's grounds was that larger motor vehicles would be too wide to fit in the road width remaining between the lane and refuge, and might therefore hit the refuge. CCC policy was firmed up via debate on the Camden Cycling Campaign's newsgroup in February 2003, and received unanimous backing.
