It seems that Transport for London remains a deeply dysfunctional organisation. The reason for the rush to complete major routes in 2013-16 was the abject failure of TfL to deliver on Boris's 2008 promise of cycle superhighways. They spread blue paint over main roads and junctions creating more danger. On the first version of superhighway 2 there were six cyclist deaths in about 3 years. In BoJo's 2nd term they had to rush and spend like crazy to cover up. Despite Lilli Matson's soothing comments TfL are yet to have a coherent strategy to enable a benign transport system in London.
