number of vehicles using Wightman Road on the car-free day vs the previous Sunday (and remember, this is inspite of the fact that traffic was diverted to the east). The data is unimpeachable and perfectly credible. It's not rocket science.
As to consulting experts, of course we didn't. That's exactly what we were demanding of the Council. That's their job. They HAD NOT done so at the time the proposals were made. They failed to do so in several other local traffic schemes. It is their duty to do so not ours. Their past neglect has caused many of current problems. Their past neglect gave us every reason to believe that experts would not have be instructed prior to the proposed change.
How on earth do you have such faith in the people who planned the Sainsburys' / Arena traffic changes Isobel?…
ndly)? The traffic survey couldn't ask drivers where their journeys started and ended, so even Hornsey Park Road to Endymion might count as "cutting through"; surely it's impossible to sort out "good" traffic from "bad"? Lots of people would argue that journeys under, say, a mile should be on foot, by bike or by bus if practicable, so if that became the norm then cars using Wightman, etc, would by definition be the longer-distance travellers many residents want to discourage.
As I said above, one person’s smart solution to avoiding jams is another’s use of a road as a rat run. It would be really great to reduce traffic all down the Ladder but what is the solution to Green Lanes that will enable this?…
l hasn't submitted a planning application to Haringey.
Personal view is big supermarket isn't needed and traffic around Hornsey is already bad so development of large site will only make it worse.
…
coming and going....
Pure madness given the traffics difficulties of accessing this place. It would also seriously reduce the no. of parkin places in the supermarket car park,
Alarmingly ill thought through. If thought through at all!…
y more than 30mph, to avoid the lights. Cars that are turning into Sainsburys do not stop at the lights, so it's understandable why pedestrians might cross when traffic builds up and then unfortunately in this instance a bus came trundling along on the bus lane which she may not have seen. I am guessing here of course because I can see how this could easily happen to anyone. I hope she is ok now. Does anyone have any news?…
gruous' layout of the retail park and the various access lanes and parking spaces is just not the place to put a delivery service for Sainsburys.
The place is log-jammed during peak traffic and Saturdays
Do they only plan to do deliveries in the night during off peak periods?
How will they cope when there are matches at Spurs and Arsenal and concerts in F Park?
These plans are just downright stoopid. Censor my use of the word stoopid if you want. But it is plain starightforward english.…
e) so how can they go go forward with another development.
cllr Goldberg should make sure that is sorted out first, after all the council keep telling us how green they want us to be and charge us for it. Or does money talk !…
k. No end of fiddling around with the layout will change that.
Gerry is right. If you can avoid it don't drive there. If I did have to drive I probably would go somewhere else.
Anyone know what state of play is with the Hornsey Sainsburies plan? That will be another case of traffic he'll if it goes ahead.…
seems there's very little they can do to cut down on idiots littering.
Incidentally, I also stopped using this otherwise admirable site regularly because of the aggressive tone and gang mentality of some members.…
