• There have been discussions today (on Twitter) about the need for a centralised space to discuss TfL's plans for London's streets , infrastructure, road safety, campaigning, protests, police operations etc. accessible to the general public and perhaps not owned by a specific organisation. To some extent LFGSS is already being used for this as is evident from all these threads:

    The Central London Grid

    Police spotting (junction watch)

    road safety?

    London (Barclays) cycle hire

    The Times cycling campaign

    Blood on the streets

    Sort of traffic that's messing your commute

    Boris' new cycling advisor

    Town planning for cycling aka bad junctions

    Die in at TFL HQ

    Space for cycling protest ride

    Cycle campaigning

    Shared road space

    What do LCC think about cycle training?

    The danger of dangerisation

    Will I die while cycling to work?

    New TfL HGVs can't see you for sh**t poster

    Cycle superhighways east extension

    20mph debate

    Cycle lanes

    ...and many many more spread over a few sub forums here

    Velocio thinks that once LFGSS moves over to microcosm then such a forum would be more accessible to people and LFGSS could host such a discussion space.

    Is there a point in setting up a separate forum for these issues prior to microcosm?

    Can we add a thread for north-south Superhighway plans?

    The London Cycling Campaign is urging us all to show our support for the new cycle superhighways. Admittedly, they're not perfect (show me a plan that is), but many think they could be a game changer - big step towards transforming London's street into spaces that are safer and more inviting for cycling.

    This and the east-west route are TfL's biggest gesture yet that they're serious about improving safety and increasing cycling numbers, so even if you won't ever use them, can I encourage everyone to try and get their workplaces to sign up in
    support of the NS/EW proposals, as LCC/Andrew Gilligan have explicitly asked?

    TfL actually want to do this and are longing for people to support them.
