Further to my post last week, Haringey Council have today started a consultation for the Trader and GLA led project to spruce up Harringay's stretch of Green Lanes.
A copy of a six-page fold out document detailing the options for consultation is being posted through the letter boxes of Harringay residents today.
If you're a home and you've seen it, what do you think? Do you like the lights on top of the Salisbury?

Got ours today.
Like the proposal for improving the railway bridge.
Am not as keen on narrowing Burgoyne Road and not having two lanes for both directions. Will create more gridlock. Ditto the removal of the bus lane. I think Green Lanes is just so much better with it. I remember before the bus lane, buses would come in great clumps, people would be irritated at the obvious delays, it was a nightmare.
Also don't like suggested art thingy outside the Salisbury. Looks really ugly and will just be a glorified dog weeing post.
Otherwise like the rest!!
They want to remove bus lanes??? That really is madness. I take the short journey from the Arena Park to Manor House pretty regularly as I don't drive and need to get shopping home up that hill - and the journey is always significantly longer than it needs to be due to traffic. Taking out bus lanes would make it impossible...
There are some good ideas here and for the little money they have they have had to spread things across the 'high st'.
Also don't like the Salisbury totem pole or the granite seat. Better off with a decent planter full of lavender & other hardy plants (if they don't nicked!). Hope the patrons of the Salisbury get to use the outside seating at night. Good to see that area getting a re-design.
Burgoyne redesign is largely to benefit the biennial Food Festival but would be good I guess for Old Ale Emporium.
Don't really get the need for the Allison Rd bit. But raised tables at the end of every ladder road would be good, except they don't seem to have a budget for this.
Unless you live on Wightman Rd.....
One way systems mean fast flowing traffic and I think TfL are getting away from them.
You don't live on Wightman road do you ?
Or Endymion, come to that.
Losing the bus lane has always been in the plan. This is a great shame as it's also really good for cyclists.
I'm all for the traders driving this forward but I'm really not happy about the bus lane going for parking spaces and I presume this comes from them. Any notion about the pavement parking being shared with pedestrians is baloney, whoever heard of a pedestrian sharing space with a parked car? I'm sure there is plenty of space at the bottom of ladder roads for shared parking with residents. The streets really only fill up when the CPZ restrictions end.
