Request ID: FOI-0312-2425 Date published: 22 May 2024
You asked
Dear Transport for London,
Network Rail alarmingly is yet to collate and quantify its foot, push, cycle active traffic bridges public provision for Greater London and also which stations so far allow or do not allow public access through them for local communities to bridge rail track severances direct and safely.
How and where does TfL's current transport modelling factor and take account of this key missing active traffic infrastructure planning data, especially given the many new car-free housing 'high towns' at UK densities unseen building on rail land since year 2000.
Developers love harsh severances, segregations and total enclosures, while Londoners love direct fast connection across the local rather than to be funnelled and diverted by rail line severances to feed existing London congestion 'hot spots' growth.
Walking and cycling options should be focused on car-free rail side 'high towns' with this new tenanted London fully connecting in, but without quality, equitable and complete data to model integrated transport with, how can that ever even start to happen?
Yours faithfully,
