I believe the A10 is their main beef. Especially since the TfL vs Hackney council superhighway disagreement. Quite the change from 3 or so years ago when TfL wouldn't have considered kerbs in a million years.

Safely != comfortably.

The only problem I've ever had with the A10 is pedestrians at rush hour. Pedestrians in the middle of the road everywhere, I don't understand how a segregated cycle lane is going to prevent people jumping out in front of you.

And what happens when this lane ends? We all just get chucked out into the road anyway, we have to somehow join a lane of already fast moving traffic to get to where we need to go. I'm not sold.

Aye, but it's not your problems they want to address. 27% of the serious injuries in Hackney 2009-2014 were on the A10.

As for linking it to a wider network, it's not their job to design it, though. If they want the bauble to be just so, it's their job to campaign for it to be just so.
