Dear Boris, Enough is enough!

Thinking about this further, this is my suggestion for what should be included in such as campaign, or letter to Boris and other MPs.

1)A full unbiased and independant K&SI enquiry on reported cycle incidents in London similar to the 2001 Toronto Coroners Enquiry of the same nature to provide a clear and accurate assessment on the causes of accidents, the handling and investigation by police and reccomendations on prevantative measures.
2) A full overhaul of road design policy to clearly and reasonably favour cycling as a mode of transport. This overhaul should include open consultation with cycling communities and be implemented. as mandatory in all London boroughs for all new developments and redevelopments.
3) A programme of subsidised, low cost driver training in cycle awareness for all HGV drivers with an associated incentive.
4) A programme of subsidised, low cost road cycling training for all London residents.
5) A restriction on HGV traffic in London at rush hour times (0700 - 0930 & 1530 - 1900).
6) Immediate implementation of increased safety standard on all HGVs allowed into London.
7) A permanent and updateable memorial to cyclists killed in London traffic regardless of circumstances.

Maybe this is something we could lobby Boris about; an independent, expert led enquiry or investigation, funded by the Major's office, into how to improve the safety of cyclists on London streets (junction design, traffic flow control, traffic rules etc etc).

Surely there could be lessons from other cities; didn't the BBC suggest London should be more like Bogatoa or something the other day?
