WTC6 - Transport Improvements

In order to improve the quality and frequency of public transport within the centre, we will:

  1. Work with TfL and other transport providers to ensure there is sufficient transport capacity on the existing bus and rail transport system;
  2. Continue to seek funding and support from TfL for a ‘Major Scheme’ within the centre;
  3. Simplify the layout of the the gyratory system on Hoe Street to reduce traffic congestion, improve traffic flows within the centre and improve the pedestrian and cycling environment;
  4. Improve pedestrian crossings at a) High Street/Hoe Street, b) Hoe Street/ Selborne Road c) Walthamstow Central exit/Seborne Road/Bus Station and d) Palmerston Road/High Street;
  5. Establish a pedestrian and cycle link between key transport interchanges at Walthamstow Queens Road and Walthamstow Central;
  6. Create a new walkway(s) under the Liverpool Street to Chingford line to improve connectivity and reduce severance between the centre and existing communities to the north and south; and
  7. Introduce a range of traffic calming measure to improve road safety.
