The pandemic is meant to be an opportunity for us all to rediscover the joy and convenience of travelling by foot or by bike but Richmond Council continues to put all its effort into making life easier for motorists, including the pointless resurfacing of Ham Street.
This is one of the busiest roads for pedestrians in the area due to the schools, shops, Common and (one day!) pubs but the pavements are both ridiculously narrow and often uneven. This was a great opportunity to reduce the road space and make the pavements wider and smoother but it is an opportunity that Richmond Council has missed and the car has won yet again.
Indeed,there are worst road surface's around. Hard to see though how to narrow it for better pavements without making it one way.
ReplyDeleteIf anything is improved for pedestrians or cyclists then the road probably needs to be made one way. Not the worst option IMHO.
