There's some history behind this but I can't quite remember what it was. I think it was the council's attempt to provide a cycle route without actually spending any money or impacting on Green Lanes or Wightman's capacity.
The favoured option has always been to send cyclists along the hillier Crouch End route and I think this was to facilitate it by sending cyclists over the railway bridge.
The new version is meant to utilise the New River path at the top of Allison I believe.
