Hi There,
I am currently requiring information on the dates (Month and year is fine) of completion of each Cycle Superhighways (CS1,2,3 etc)(including redesigns), each Quietways (Q1,2,7, etc), the London Central Grid and Grid+ as well as the proposed completion dates of those cycle routes (CSH, Quietways) for the future such as those in consultation and those undecided.
I cannot seem to find all this data for all of the routes across the years, It is for a dissertation of a cycle framework and needed for my data collection.

Central London Grid
The Central London Grid originally identified a network of c.85kms of potential cycle routes, of which 36km is currently completed. In 2017 further funding was allocated to increase the density of the network, and an additional c.65kms of cycle routes were identified. The Central London Grid will provide a network of 150km of cycle routes by March 2023.
