The speed humps/platforms should help keep the speed down a bit (they tend, IMHO, to make some people keep to the limit which then forces other drivers to do the same).
The existing cycle path was a poor surface and interrupted at every junction, it also took up a huge amount of footway space at some points.
I'm broadly in support of the changes although in the "other comments" box I mentioned two things:
a) Require support from the Police for tolerating considerate cycling on the footway (for people who want to take children to the park for example) according to the Home Secretary's guidelines from 1999 (which were reinforced in 2014).
b) I also mentioned that consideration should be put to somehow stopping RP being used as a through route for motor vehicles.
(Something along the lines of a ANPR camera enforced congestion charge for people who exit the park by a different gate that they enter it by within a certain time limit, i.e.
enter by Roehampton gate and leave by Roehampton gate 5 minutes later = ok
enter by Roehampton gate and leave by a Richmond gate 2 hours later = ok
enter by Roehampton gate and leave by Richmond gate 20 minutes later = charged
