Help with suggestions for improving the Old Oak Estate W12

[Propsal 4 (Layer 4) Remove the gyratory and create a public space where Old Oak Common lane meets the Westway
This idea is beyond this remit though since the removal of Homebase here and the planned building of flats it is worth adding to the mix improving the crossing a removing the Western arm of the gyratory.]

This is obviously an idea I would strongly support, but you should not combine this with the proposals for the estate at all. It's a completely different kind of project. I wouldn't consider it very difficult, but it would need funding in the region of tens of millions. (I'm not really up to speed with major scheme costs as TfL have been keeping rather shtum about this given the financial problems, but costs are rising all the time.) One main street scheme component in the shape of the Old Oak Common Lane/Du Cane Road/Erconwald Street junction would be more than enough.

Anyway, the Westway/Old Oak Common Lane/Old Oak Road junction would obviously swallow most of the funding, and it would be quite the fight to define a suitable scope for the work (so you don't end up with a typical rearranging-the-deckchairs type scheme, which you often get, i.e. the assets are all upgraded and little of significance actually happens).
