Proposed redevelopment of Green Lanes

Anyone who has the misfortune to have to cycle along Wood Green High Road at most times of the day will already have a taste of what that sort of road modelling can be like to navigate.

I already know cyclists who prefer to use Wightman Road rather than tackle Green Lanes - perhaps TfL are quietly hoping more cyclists can be encouraged to take this back route.

^This exactly - sounds like an extension of the hell that is WoodGreen High road and it's total lack of cycling provision - such as 5 mtr cycle lanes directing you off the road into a bin..then the cycle lane runs out..token gesture, tick box exercise.

The speed gauntlet of Wightman road still outweighs trying to head along Green Lanes up to Wood Green at anytime of day without taking rush hour into account

rush hour on that road is like an unofficial critical mass, lots of cyclists going no where fast
