25 PEDESTRIANS AND CYCLISTS
The Council, working with its partners, will seek to provide safe, convenient, and accessible routes for pedestrians, cyclists and other non-motorised modes by:
- Developing and implementing improvements to strategic and local walking and cycle routes in the Borough;
- Improving the quality and safety of the public realm, implementing streetscape improvements to be outlined in the Enfield Design Guide and relevant area action plans, fostering road safety, and implementing ‘Streets for People’ initiatives; and
- Working with Department for Transport, Network Rail and Transport for London to ensure that West Anglia rail line improvements address the barrier to east-west movements for pedestrians and cyclists caused by the line in the east of the Borough, including the identification of alternative crossing points.
Priority will be given to schemes that overcome community severance, particularly those linking communities on either side of the West Anglia Main Line, routes to schools, town centres and recreational resources including greenways andthe Lee Valley Regional Park.
