St Pancras Way Pop-up Cycle Lane
We’ve been trialling changes on St Pancras Way to help make streets safer and healthier by adding new cycle lanes so getting around by bike is safer and easier. The commonplace survey here is now closed. The changes here are now approved to be made permanent. We will update this page ahead of the permanent works. What are the permanent changes?Replacing the temporary ‘wand’ cycle lane segregation on St. Pancras Way with new raised stepped cycle tracks. This is because ‘wands’ are easily broken, and stepped cycle tracks provide a better ride quality with a more useable width. This also improves emergency vehicle response times (vehicles can pull over onto the cycle tracks to allow emergency vehicles through). Retaining the shared-use bus stop border between Camden Road and Agar Grove to provide safe continuous cycling and to minimise delays for bus passengers. Upgrading three existing zebra crossings near Georgiana Street, College Grove and Granary Street to “raised” zebra crossings, providing level crossing points for pedestrians and traffic calming features to slow vehicles. Two of these existing zebra crossings would also be upgraded to raised 'parallel zebra' (cycle and pedestrian) crossings near Georgiana Street and Pratt Street, providing safer crossing points for cyclists and pedestrians. Creating a new shared space (cycle and pedestrian) area on the footway on the north western side of the junction of St Pancras Way and Georgiana Street, giving the opportunity for southbound cyclists on St Pancras Way to access Georgiana Street when using the new parallel crossing Adding blue cycle lane surfacing across side roads and junctions with cycle symbols to provide an increased awareness of cyclists. Installing ‘blended pedestrian crossings’ across side roads of Wrotham Road, Barker Drive and College Grove. This is to provide pedestrian priority and reduce vehicle speeds at side roads. Installing approximately 9 new trees to improve air quality, biodiversity, shade and improve the public realm of the street. Installing approximately 6 new benches to provide opportunities to rest, particularly for the elderly and people with disabilities. Installing 8 new cycle parking stands along the route and two cycle hangars on Wilmot Place (replacing 5m or Residents parking near the junction of St Pancras Way) and Pratt Street (replacing 5m of single yellow line between St Pancras Way and Royal College Street) to provide people a safe place to store their bikes. Creating a new segregated westbound contraflow cycle lane on Pratt Street, connecting St Pancras Way with Royal College Street Replacing the single yellow lines on Pratt Street, between St Pancras Way and Royal College Street, with double yellow lines and double kerb blips, to ensure through traffic is not blocked by vehicles. Removing 3 paid for parking spaces from the north side of Pratt St and installing 5 new shared-use (paid for parking and residents permit holders) spaces on the south side of Pratt Street, between St Pancras Way and Royal College Street, creating more spaces for residents to park Installing a 16m loading bay on Pratt Street, between St Pancras Way and Royal College Street, providing loading/unloading facilities for local businesses and residents Installing new double yellow lines with double blip markings (no parking/waiting at any time) along St Pancras Way to prevent vehicles from parking and loading on the cycle lane.
