Sun Street and Quaker Lane (CAP2018 schemes 1 and 2)
Sun Street is currently a pedestrian zone in Waltham Abbey town centre.
Epping Forest Cycling Action Plan scheme 1 proposes:
Allowing cycling could improve accessibility. An Experimental TRO may be useful to try allowing cycling only in
peak periods as a trial before potentially making access permanent.
Scheme 2 proposes:
Provide a new advisory cycle lane along Quaker Lane from Leverton Way to Sewardstone Road, connecting potential scheme 1 to potential scheme 15. May require removal of centre-line and signage. In addition, further investigation required to connect existing two way cycle track at eastern end of Quaker Lane with new provision.
EFTAG comment: Scheme 2 would not work without a 20mph speed limit and parking restrictions. Hybrid cycle tracks might be more appropriate. Routes via Sun Street (scheme 1) would be preferred in terms of signage/wayfinding.
