Email the Mayor to demand CS2 upgrade

Submitted by owen on 14 November 2013

The London Cycling Campaign is calling on supporters to email Mayor demanding to upgrade CS2 to continental standards.

EMAIL THE MAYOR NOW

Three of the latest cyclist deaths have occurred on the Mayor's Cycle Superhighway 2 between Aldgate and Bow, which LCC has said for years isn't safe enough.

We're calling on Mayor to act immediately to:

  • Install immediate protected space for cycling at Aldgate junction
  • Commit to installing cycling and pedestrian-specific traffic lights across Bow roundabout
  • Publish a timetable to upgrade the whole of Superhighway 2 to continental standards.

We're also calling on the Mayor to upgrade all Superhighways to continental standards, and work towards making every street in Greater London safe space for cycling.

LCC Chief Executive Ashok Sinha said, “We warned the Mayor about the potentially lethal flaws on Superhighway 2 over a year ago. The Mayor must now signal that he wants to eliminate such avoidable fatalities by transforming CS2 – including the junctions at Bow and Aldgate – into an example of the highest standards in cycle safety.

"We extend our deepest sympathy to the recently bereaved, and to everyone who has lost family or friends in collisions on London’s streets."
