Hamilton Terrace

Please counter opposition to protected cycle route on Hamilton Terrace

Hamilton Terrace (parallel to Maida Vale) is set to become a cycleway as part of Cycleway 51, and could get protected cycle tracks for its entire length – but it’s under attack! Local councillors are encouraging people to object. Please show your support. Losing the Hamilton Terrace scheme could mean delaying or losing the whole of C51.

You could say in your response, using your own words:

• Yes please to protected cycle tracks on this busy road! This will enable new people to start cycling locally, including children

• Option 2 is best, using parked cars to protect the cycle lane. This already works well elsewhere in London, such as Hanover Street in Westminster and Liverpool Road in Islington

• We do not support Option 1 as it has no protection, and Option 3 puts cycle tracks in the centre of the road, which makes it harder to enter and leave the cycleway safely

• The junctions need to be safer for cycling – painted bike boxes / ‘ASLs’ on their own are not good enough at these hostile junctions.
