Here for instance is from the Transport Strategy vision. (That’s what drives the money, including here in Enfield.):
"Reducing the need to use cars will provide huge benefits for all Londoners. More walking and cycling can make everyone healthier. Older people, the very young, disabled people and those living on lower incomes are most likely to be affected by the problems associated with a car-dependent city, such as poor air quality and road danger. Therefore, reduced car use will make London fairer. Streets will function more efficiently, with less congestion and pollution. Public transport and essential commercial journeys will run more easily and there will be more space for people.
For all of these reasons, this new transport strategy aims to change the way people choose to travel so that, by 2041, 80 per cent of all Londoners’ trips will be made on foot, by cycle or by public transport. This will be a significant change from today, when only 64 per cent of journeys are made by these healthy, efficient and sustainable forms of transport."
That’s less car-miles but more active travelled miles for a fairer city. This direction really has been very extensively evidenced and consulted on. Reversing that is the real challenge if you’re not happy with what is starting to roll out. If not, then it’s breaking embedded habits and mind-sets. What road space will remain needs to be clear for those who really need it.
