Do you have any evidence that Sadiq Khan wishes to "rip up all roads in the city"?A303Chris wrote: ↑Fri Feb 08, 2019 09:27The DfT and HE are stuck between a rock and a hard place since London became a devolved area with the Mayor. Especially the new incumbent who would rip up all roads in the city, the likelihood of any proper improvements with the TfL are long gone. So the M25 has to take cross London Traffic.
It's not like his transport policy are radically different to that of his predecessors; in fact, what's notable about London since the Mayor and GLA came into existence is that its transport policy has remained remarkably stable despite the political stripe of the administration changing twice. Before the GLA existed there had been no plans to substantially increase capacity for road traffic in London since Cecil Parkinson's plans were thrown on the bonfire in 1990.
I get a bit tired of saying this, but TfL did briefly pursue a tunneled scheme that would have provided free-flow along the A406 through Bounds Green. It went nowhere because the Treasury (under Alistair Darling) refused to fund it.The A406 could have been a great road but like the recent upgrade at Wood Green, half cock tripe on a grade separated road either side.
