Barclays Cycle Superhighways are new cycle routes into central London from outer London. Transport for London says they will provide cyclists with safer, faster and more direct journeys into the city.
CSH9 will run from Hounslow to Hyde Park. At the moment it is in the preliminary design stage. It could run along the A315 Kensington High street or the A4 Cromwell rd, but the A315 seems to be preferred.
There are questions as to how the route will get through or by the Hammersmith Gyratory. [Hammersmith Broadway actually refers to a small section on the north side of the gyratory, the original high street. Other roads that make up the gyratory are Hammersmith rd, Butterwick, Talgarth rd and Queen Caroline st.]
On the 17 March there will be a meeting with Transport for London including repesentatives of the London Cycling Campaign and borough officials. This will look at the route options for the CSH9 to negotiate the Hammersmith gyratory, as well as other parts of the route.
If you cycle regularly on an E-W, W-E route through Hammersmith it would be valuable to bring your experience and opinion to this meeting.
Please answer as soon as possible, preferably by this weekend, and definitely before March 17th 2011

So yeah... if you ride through there, please spare a few minutes to give them some data.
