The 18 month closure will be to the east of Canning Rd. This is the major work involved in this scheme.

The closure to the west of Canning Rd will only be for 2 or 3 months, possibly Dec 2024-Feb 2025.

Yeah, and the new signallised crossing on the northern arm is also for cyclists.

At this rate, Cycleway 2 might eventually get to Ilford by 2054!

It looks like you may have extended a couple of walking routes along osm.org/way/801938376 that presumably should not continue beyond the crossing on the main road.

I just did updates here and noticed the problem that got introduced. Someone had wrongly extended the currently open cycleway to permit pedestrian access.

I've rectified this now and added pedestrian access round the works at this spot.

Hi Bernard, they are currently realigning some of the old cycleway here and constructing new cycle tracks to create a continuous cycleway on both sides of the roads.

Mapping-wise it a bit fiddly at the moment, but I do check on the works more or less weekly.

I completely agree with with not using the longer "opposite_*" tags, but I can't see any reason to deprecated the simple "cycleway=opposite" where there is no contraflow lane.

It does at least hopefully deter StreetComplete from applying tags for a fantasy "shared_lane".

Good to know. I'll probably go to check on the Hoe St works in the next day or 2, so I'll go check on this crossing too.

Micromapping of the cycling infrastructure - best viewed on the CyclOSM layer.

Not sure whether you'd map route discs on bollards as guideposts... but I did spot one just south (I think) of osm.org/node/11079475792.

I've added another guidepost (osm.org/node/11781794485) to the Green Link Walk (approx location). I've seen another map show the route going the park at Clapton Square, but this guidepost would indicate that it doesn't.

I've walked it via the park and it's very much not step-free at either side of the park. The route is billed as being step-free, so I'd be very confident that it doesn't go through the park but passes the guidepost instead.

(Not step-free to cross the road at osm.org/way/1078872732 either, but that does seem to be the signed route).

This junction has been revised as part of the new Cycleway 4 route. Previous traffic islands were removed and the northbound roadway has been shifted. The dual carriageway now ends before this junction and doesn't exist on the tertiary road or to the SW of the junction.

You've also readded an ASL that no longer exists and the cycle links from the tertiary road to Cycleway 4 are completely wrong too.

Although your revision reflects the old layout, the previous mapping already reflected the new layout. I think it would be best to revert your changes here.

Hi. You seem to have restored this junction to how it was before its layout was changed in the last few months.

None as far as I know. I know Westminster have hinted at some E-W route(s) via Mayfair and a route to Soho, but they don't seem to have specified how and whether previously indicated alignments have been changed.

I wouldn't really expect Queen's Walk to be changed until there's a route developed between Mayfair and Green Park. It potentially might never happen (though full cycle network wasn't intended to be finished till 2041)... but they'd presumably develop an alternative parallel route further east if no route goes along Queen's Walk.

I've removed those duplicated cycleways now.

Hi, sorry for the delay in replying. I have tagged the cycling infrastructure accurately for the interim version of C4 and in compliance with osm.wiki/Key:cycleway. Cycle lanes (including wanded tracks) should be tagged on the main road, not as separate ways, even if they are two-way. I have also tagged these cycle lanes/tracks as being two-way.

To map the on-road sections as separate ways misrepresents/exaggerates the infrastructure. Once fully rendered by CyclOSM, the new C4 section will appear accurately with thicker lines to show that the lanes are two-way.

I've got most of it mapped now (guided by the footways and gojauntly maps, which do actually differ at some locations). There could be some minor inaccuracies on OSM but it should probably be good enough to follow (and correct where necessary.)

I've left 2 gaps around Elephant & Castle where a ground survey would be needed to work out exactly where pedestrians are intended to cross the the road.

Thanks for the update.

Hi. There's a link to the document (from Wandsworth Council) at https://twitter.com/joncstone/status/1756586776896954567?t=6rgdoAaexzvnjMknSKqq_w&s=19

13 routes are set to be part of a single consultation which I believe is set to begin in the next week or 2.

You can cross already, but the crossing on the south side of the bridge is to get revised in the coming months.

There could still be significant future changes between the bridge and Connolly Station.
