It's a shame there's not room for a bus lane in both directions on Lea Bridge Road. I've got no issues riding northbound on it along the bus lane (although it's a bit of a ballache when the bus lane stops and drivers expect you to hop up onto the narrow pavement/cyclepath) but at peak hours the only option when heading into town is to ride along the bike path/pavement, which is crap, bumpy, slow, has bus stops along its length and is peppered with bollards, signs and so forth to dodge around.
I'd rather just use bus lanes than cycle lanes but can see the need I suppose.
Also interested to see what they do with the village and the mini Holland thing. I hope (rather selfishly) that they leave Grove Road alone as it's a handy shortcut to the north circular when I drive, but again I can see why they might change it.
Oh and it'd be nice if they'd do something about the fucking minicabs caning it along queens road (20mph limit) at a minimum of 40mph.
Edit: I used to prefer going up to blackhorse road and over the reservoir but now they've made the tottenham hale/seven sisters one way bit into a dogshit as well. My commute'll be changing soon so a better lea bridge road will be a good thing.
