A new consultation is out on changes to Cable St, including some improvements to Cycle Superhighway 3. Whilst we would like to see the scheme go further, there are some good proposals here, in particular a major improvement to the confusing junction with Sutton St and a new parallel pedestrian/cyclist zebra crossing and contraflow cycle lane at King David Lane.
LB Tower Hamlets are consulting on a filtered permeability scheme in the Cable Street area that aims to improve the pedestrian and cycle environment - see the consultation announcement and flyer distributed to residents.
TfL consultations close at midnight Friday (27th Feb) on 'improvements' to parts of the cycle track along Cable Street and the cycle route on Horseferry Rd (CS3). The consultations can be found at:

Dear Stakeholder,
Cable Street junction with Cannon Street Road
Transport for London (TfL) has appointed CVU (Colas, Volkerhighways and URS) to replace the traffic lights at the junction of Cable Street with Cannon Street Road. Works will be taking place on the footway and carriageway.
TfL has recently introduced changes to the A13/Blackwall Tunnel Approach.
The change involves adding a new pedestrian crossing to connect the Aberfeldy Housing Estate to East India Dock DLR station; and the removal of the bus lane on the A13 East India Dock Road. The excuse given for this is that the new pedestrian crossing would cause additional delays to traffic on the A13, so ways were sought to mitigate any increase in traffic journey times.
Today we had a visit from Jenny Jones, Green Party member at the London Assembly. She is currently visiting local LCC groups to see what concerns and ideas they have.
Our annual cycle count taken during breakfast on Narrow Street would seem to show numbers using this route have pretty much levelled off since the step change from 2008-2009BBP (BBP: before blue paint) where 50%+ increases were seen.
