The following statement comes from the press release cited below.
TfL and Hammersmith and Fulham Council have also agreed to look into an opportunity to enable more people to cycle and walk safely along the A4, between Hammersmith Town Hall and the Hammersmith gyratory. This is in addition to creating a new segregated two-way cycle route along the A315 and the improvements along the A4 represent additional investment and provide connections for people on bikes or on foot south of the gyratory and to Hammersmith Bridge. TfL will continue to work with Hammersmith and Fulham on this opportunity to improve the local community for people walking and cycling.

Thank you for your request received by Transport for London (TfL) on 19 December 2019 asking for information about walking and cycling improvements along the A4, between Hammersmith Town Hall and the Hammersmith gyratory. I apologise for the delay in replying.
Your request has been considered under the terms of the Environmental Information Regulations (EIRs). I can confirm that we hold some of the information you require.
The discussions were directly between Heidi Alexander Deputy Mayor of the GLA and the Leader of Hammersmith and Fulham Council (LBH&F), and as such we do not hold the wording of discussions had or agreements made with TfL. Please redirect that part of your request to the GLA or LBH&F who are best placed to assist you: https://www.london.gov.uk/about-us/governance-and-spending/sharing-our-information/freedom-information and https://www.lbhf.gov.uk/councillors-and-democracy/data-and-information/freedom-information.
We can however confirm that £300k has been made available by TfL to LBH&F in order to carry out a feasibility study for walking and cycling improvements alongside the A4. In addition to this a provisional sum of £20m has been allocated to LBH&F as part of the design and delivery of the Cycleway between Kensington Olympia and Brentford Town Centre within their Borough. Please note that this cost is kept under constant review as the project matures.
If this is not the information you are looking for, or if you are unable to access it for any reason, please do not hesitate to contact me.
Please see the attached information sheet for details of your right to appeal as well as information on copyright and what to do if you would like to re-use any of the information we have disclosed.
Yours sincerely
