Hackney Council is asking people to have their say on proposals to transform Green Lanes for walking and cycling.

The proposals, which include introducing protected cycle lanes along the length of the road between Newington Green and Woodberry Grove at Manor House, are aimed at making the entire area safer for cyclists and pedestrians, and creating a greener environment for people to enjoy.

Roads would be narrowed to help lower traffic speeds and make them easier for people to cross, with the junctions at Stoke Newington Church Street and Lordship Park made safer for pedestrians and cyclists through the use of countdown crossings and cycle signals.

The Council is also proposing to introduce floating bus stops to help keep buses and cyclists separate, and raised continuous pavements to prioritise pedestrians at side roads.

Around 35 new trees would also be planted along the road, in line with the Council’s commitment to plant 5,000 new street trees by 2022.
