CLondoner92 (New Account)The Mayor of #London and #TfL have launched a new #Walking and #Wheeling Action Plan aimed at making streets safer, healthier and easier to use over the next decade. The strategy includes 1,000 new pedestrian crossings by 2031, wider use of School Streets, lower traffic speeds, upgraded town centres and improved walking links to stations and bus stops. A new riverside walking route is also planned by 2029. The plan is designed to encourage more daily walking, support local high streets and improve public health, while tackling barriers such as unsafe roads, pavement clutter and fear of crime. It also supports the Mayor’s target for 80 per cent of journeys in London to be made by walking, cycling or public #transport by 2041. TfL said the programme would be delivered with boroughs and local partners across the capital.
