London Assembly Green Party member Darren Johnson has tabled two CS2 upgrade questions for Mayor's Questions at City Hall on Wednesday morning (21 Jan) and we are going along for a publicity photocall. Could you join us?

Time is 9.15am for about 30 mins, outside City Hall, SE1 2AA [location map].

Transport for London are currently consulting on major improvements to Cycle Superhighway Route 2 (CS2) between Aldgate and Bow roundabout. These proposals feature segregated cycle tracks and junctions redesigned to separate cyclists from motor vehicles and will need your support if they are to go ahead.

Take action to tell Transport for London that you want to make CS2 safer and more inviting so that everybody feels able to cycle.

The quiet cycling route behind Whitechapel Station that connects Vallance Road to Brady Street, Durward Street has been closed for the next four years. I spoke to the Crossrail site supervisor and he said the pedestrian/cycling route has closed so that they can dig trenches for the new station. The irony was lost on him when I said that 100 years ago trenches were also being dug for four years.
