Public input sought in study examining long-term usage of London’s Blackfriars Bridge
“My basic hope here would be that the city just decides to revert back to what they had during the initial lockdowns and move towards it being a pedestrian and cycling space,” said Chris DeGroot, an active transportation advocate who started the online petition to keep the bridge closed.
“Second of all, I think that having the traffic at a relatively low volume … makes for some unexpected interactions at that crossing on the east side of the bridge, where a lot of pedestrians and cyclists maybe don’t expect cars to be coming.” “I think that’s even more reinforced with the new path that’s on the west side of the river that extends from Blackfriars neighbourhood all the way to Oxford Street,” he said.
The survey will continue through the winter, allowing more people to contribute to the final study, which will be presented next year to city councillors who will make a final decision, Dales said.
