East London Transit moves a step closer

I've had a letter saying there will be explanatory drop in sessions:

St Luke's Church, Baxter Road, Iford on Tu 2 December, 10-7
Vicarage Fields, Barking on Sa 6 December, 10-5
Sue Bramley Centre, Thames View,Tu 9 December, 1-7

In 2006 when they had a similar thing, I wrote to them and went to a drop in because the plans they were putting forward not only failed to tackle some long standing issues for cyclists, some of which had been formally identified by TfL in 2003 in a cycle route audit, but it also proposed to introduce further restrictions. It looks like I wasted my time, because the latest proposals as documented at August 2008 don't look much different - a bit worse if anything. See for yourself at http://www.tfl.gov.uk/assets/downloads/east-london-transit-maps.pdf

Do go along to the sessions, or write to elt@tfl.go.uk or phone 0800 587 3068
