Transport and Connections

Phase 3 allows us to reinstate the historic street pattern of the area, helping people find their way around the area more easily and providing a new pedestrian friendly part of Portobello Road which can be closed for events such as markets.

New routes and
connections

A new pedestrian route through the site will be created, running from Ladbroke Grove to Wornington Road. This will also expand pedestrian access to the wider area, including Barlby Road and Treverton Street.

  • One-way vehicular system along the neighbourhood square. Reconfiguring the road provides an opportunity to retain an additional tree, as well as increased soft landscaping and additional tree planting.
  • Emergency, pedestrian and cycling access only from Ladbroke Grove.

Cycling

Cycle racks will be provided on Portobello Road , as well as TfL (Santander) bicycles.

Car club

A car club on site will reduce the need for residential parking space, as well as promoting more sustainable modes of transport such as walking and cycling.

Shared surfaces and traffic calming

• Closing off vehicular access into and out of the development at the Barlby Roundabout, allowing for enhanced pedestrian and cycle routes.
• Shared surface extended along Wornington Road creating a more pedestrian friendly environment.
