Ruskin Road/Park Lane Junction

Local councillors Jill, Hamish and Alan have been advised the designs are almost complete for the Park Lane/Ruskin Road junction signal modification works. These are based on the option agreed by the Carshalton Local Committee after the local consultation earlier this year.

IMG01801-20120406-1238Cllr. Jill Whitehead reports: “Local councillors originally asked for this because All Saints’ Primary School was being expanded from 35 to 60 pupils each year (from last September), and there would be more parents with young children wanting to cross the road. The scheme is being promoted by Transport for London (TfL) for road safety reasons. Also, TfL are putting in a new innovative type of crossing which they are trying out here”.

Cllr. Hamish Pollock adds: “The works are currently planned to take place in August and September this year, and are anticipated to take about 4 to 5 weeks to complete”. 

 Cllr. Alan Salter says: “Residents may have questions regarding these works, so if you wish to discuss further, please contact Sutton Council’s project engineer on 020 8770 6455”.

Sutton Council is also proposing to introduce yellow line restrictions in nearby parts of Park Lane to improve safety near the pedestrian crossing points on Park Lane north and south of its junction with Ruskin Road.  The yellow lines will prevent obstructive parking in Park Lane.
