Share Your Feedback on the New Southgate Station to Palmers Green Station Walking and Cycling Route Design

We’re inviting your feedback on concept designs for the New Southgate Station to Palmers Green Walking and Cycling Route. This project is part of our Journeys and Places programme, which aims to create safer, greener, and more enjoyable streets for everyone.

In Spring 2023, we engaged the community to gather ideas and identify local issues. We heard that:

• Speeding on several roads in the area creates an unsafe environment.
• Lack of segregated cycling facilities forces mixing with traffic.
• Dangerous junctions for people walking and cycling.
• Opportunities exist to make the area safer and more pleasant.

You can view the concept plan map in the ‘Documents’ tab on this page. Key features include:

• Improved crossings at key locations including Station Road, Broomfield Lane, and Wilmer Way.
• On-carriageway cycling on low-traffic streets such as Woodland Road and Arnos Road.
• Segregated cycle lanes on Bowes Road and Wilmer Way.
• Southbound bus gate on Palmers Road to reduce traffic volumes, creating a safer environment for cyclists to mix with general traffic.
• One-way system with cycling contra-flow on Ashridge Gardens.
• Speed calming on Broomfield Avenue, Cranford Ave, and Ashridge Gardens.
• Improved cycling facilities through Arnos Park.
• Connections to Cycleway 20 via Fox Lane.
