Because of delays caused by the Cycle Enfield road works along the A105, the 329 bus is currently not running south of Wood Green station. This will allow frequencies to be retained between Palmers Green and Enfield. According to the TfL website, the route curtailment runs from 5th January to 30th March.
Southbound buses are terminating very close to the usual stop outside Wood Green station. However, buses towards Palmers Green on the 329 are not serving the northbound Wood.......

Waltham Forest's "village" traffic management schemes have been highly successful. Hopefully, Enfield's road planners will be equally ambitious when they restart work on Quieter Neighbourhoods.
As 2016 draws to a close it's good to see work finally under way to restore to people the freedom to travel along Green Lanes by bicycle safely and securely - a freedom that has been increasingly denied for the past fifty or sixty years. Of all ways of travelling, apart from walking,.......

Roadworks aren't usually popular with residents. So workers in Ridge Avenue, Winchmore Hill, had a surprise on Friday morning when local parents came to say “Thank you for the bike lanes”, bringing with them a cooked breakfast.
Palmers Green residents Clare Rogers, Claire Brady and Maggie Westhead, who all have children at schools in the borough, brought bacon rolls, pastries, tea, coffee and fruit juice for the workers' 10am tea break. They also displayed a homemade “Thank.......

Enfield Council's plans to install cycle lanes along the A105 are again being challenged, this time by Conservative councillors, who have "called in" the decision by the Cabinet Member for the Environment, Councillor Daniel Anderson, to implement the proposals as set out in the Statutory Consultation earlier this year........

Enfield Council's plans for cycle lanes along main roads and quieter neighbourhoods in residential areas moved a little closer to completion this week, when a High Court judge refused an application for a judicial review of the Cycle Enfield consultation arrangements and ordered that the Save Our Green Lanes campaigning group should pay the Council's costs.
The judge dismissed claims by the anti-cycle lane campaigners that there were serious flaws in the way the consultation was.......

The Stage 1 Road Safety Audit for the A105 cycle lanes scheme has now been published. The auditors, from Transport for London (TfL), have indicated that they are satisfied with the responses to all the safety issues that they raised. Unfortunately, the auditors did not comment on hazards for pedestrians crossing roads at the Green Lanes/Hedge Lane/Bourne Hill junction, presumably because their terms of reference state that "Safety Audit is not intended to identify pre-existing.......

The debate about Enfield’s Mini Holland rages on via social media and the local press – will there be gridlocked roads? Vacant businesses? Cyclists mowing down the elderly at bus stops? Meanwhile, some of us from Better Streets for Enfield and Enfield Cycling Campaign decided it would be easiest just to go and look at a Mini Holland that’s already in progress. Waltham Forest is, after all, next door to us, and ahead of Enfield in completing the work.

Opponents of Enfield Council's cycle lanes proposals have initiated legal action aimed at stopping implementation of plans for cycle lanes along the A105.
The Save Our Green Lanes campaign last week served the council with papers in connection with its application for a High Court judicial review of the way the council has conducted consultations about the scheme, which envisages the creation of continuous cycle lanes between Enfield Town and Palmers Green.

A new campaigning group is calling for a fairer balance between cars, cycles, buses and pedestrians on Enfield's roads. Better Streets for Enfield supports the Cycle Enfield (Mini Holland) plans to boost cycling and walking rates by installing bike lanes, 'quieter neighbourhoods', and redesigned high streets.
Devonshire Road should by rights be a quiet residential street, but most of the time is a "rat run". For two hours a month it turns into a Play Street (Photo: Phil Rogers)While.......

Clare Rogers shares her thoughts about last week's Enfield Cycling Conference
This conference at Enfield’s Dugdale Centre on Friday 8 April left me feeling both inspired and daunted – inspired because we were shown what is possible and already being done in the Netherlands – and daunted because Enfield has such a long way to go.
This post tries to give a taste of what was said at the conference. For more in-depth information, you can find links to each presentation.......

Text and images (with some slight reformatting) taken from the Cycle Enfield website and the A105 Consultation Report.
The bus stop bypass and bus stop boarder designs that are proposed have been used in other parts of London and the UK. There are a number of councils who have implemented these designs (e.g. Camden Council and Brighton & Hove Council) who have monitored their impact and have not reported any significant issues.
Whilst it is acknowledged that this is a design not previously.......
