In 2023, Transport for London proposed a pedestrian crossing on Ferry Lane to improve access to the station, amidst historical conflicts between pedestrians and cyclists. Previous plans for a footbridge were discarded, and an alternative to remove barriers for cyclists was rejected in 2024 due to safety concerns. The new application proposes measures like a 20mph speed limit, widened spaces for users, and a focus on reducing interactions that have led to unsafe conditions. Cyclists have called for separate crossings to mitigate conflict, highlighting ongoing safety issues regarding shared routes.
Michael Poteliakhoff, a spokesperson for Haringey Cycling Campaign, expressed concerns over the mingling of cyclists and pedestrians, emphasizing that it will continue to create unpredictable behaviors.
Transport for London states that the new application is designed to address road safety and user conflict, with a focus on enhancing pedestrian safety and comfort.
