More improvements for cyclists and pedestrians in the Olympic Park
When the new cultural area opens, along with the London College of Fashion, plus lots of new apartments; the Olympic Park will gain thousands more visitors. This recent article in the Evening Standard explains how the Olympic Park is to be given £25m for transport improvements for pedestrians and cyclists. Part of it includes reducing the road between Westfield and the park from two lanes to one lane each way. This would allow wider pavements and segregated bike lanes.
