We are seeking your views on the Council’s proposal to improve the junction of Kentish Town Road with Castle Road and Royal College Street.
The consultation document can be found HERE and proposed layout plan can be found HERE.
The junction of Kentish Town Road and Royal College Street is surrounded by a variety of shops, cafes and residential flats. It has a number of bus routes travelling through the junction, including 24-hour bus routes that access parts of Central London.
Castle Road is a two-way borough road, it is predominantly residential with a few local shops. The road is also used by cyclists as a quiet route that filters through from Prince of Wales Road and Castlehaven Road.
In 2016 and 2017, improvements were made for cyclists along Royal College Street as part of a Central London Cycle Grid scheme which allows cyclists to travel from Kentish Town Road to Kings Cross along a safe and continuous protected cycle route. We want to provide a safe connection for cyclists through Castle Road into Royal College Street, and improve crossings for pedestrians. Officers have considered proposals that will help to make the junction a safer and more attractive place for everybody. This leaflet sets out these proposals, and as a local resident, business or group, this is your opportunity to let us know what you think.
PROPOSALS
The proposed changes are shown on the attached drawing and include the following key changes.
In addition to the above proposals we are planning to change the following lane markings to make it easier for drivers to know what lane to use; left turn only lanes on the nearest side on Kentish Town northbound (except buses and cyclists) and southbound for all traffic.
