Further to Question No: 2015/3534 'Are you aware of the concerns of Torriano Primary school over pedestrian safety at the junction for which TfL is responsible at Camden Road (A503) with Camden Park Road/Torriano Avenue (A5200); and what are you going to do about them ?' Your response being: 'TfL was made aware of the pedestrian safety concerns raised by Torriano Primary School in September 2015. Possible alterations to the junction are being considered and I understand a meeting is being arranged with Torriano Primary school to discuss their concerns in detail.' Have those discussions now taken place, and if...

Further to Question No: 2015/3532 'Barnet Council have spent hundreds of thousands of pounds of Transport for London money on the "upgrade" of Dollis Valley Greenwalk from Dollis Road to Fursby Road. This was done without any public consultation, proper planning or consideration of the Health and Safety of users. Users were not informed of the works until the month before the project was scheduled and then with just basic information. The resulting path does not comply with the Department for Transport 'Shared Use Routes for Pedestrians and Cyclists (LTN 1/12)' or TfL's 'London Cycling Design Standards'. This is also...

Further to Question No: 2015/3530 'As it is now well over 3 years since you promised to cycle round Stirling Corner, and despite regular reminders of your promise you have failed to do so, do you intend to honour your promise before you leave office as Mayor next May?' Your response being: 'It is now well over 3 years since you first asked a question about cycling round Stirling Corner. The answer I gave at the time was 'I cycle the whole of London. When I next do Stirling Corner I will give you a report.' Have you cycled round...

The programme to provide Sound Absorbing Solar Panels alongside the M40 at High Wycombe is making progress. Will you lobby the Highways Agency for similar devices along the section of the M1 between Scratchwood Services & Fiveways Corner, as the motorway closely dissects Mill Hill Town Centre with a high effect on noise and air pollution?

Will you ensure that TfL's highway planners and engineers are able to keep their knowledge of best practice in cycling infrastructure design and assessment techniques up-to-date through an appropriate combination of training and on-the-road experience?

Will you ensure that highway schemes including features defined as 'critical fails' in the London Cycling Design Standards (LCDS, 2014) will not in future go forward?

• Meeting date: 18 November 2015

TfL has recently published an extensively revised and updated set of London Cycling Design Standards (LCDS, 2014). They represent a significant step towards the achievement of consistent highway designs offering safe and convenient cycling conditions on all London's roads. Included in the LCDS is a Cycling Level of Service (CLoS) assessment procedure and an associated Junction Assessment Tool (JAT), both of which offer scoring schemes that aid the assessment of cycling safety and convenience in new highway designs. However, neither the CLoS procedure nor the simpler JAT appears to be in regular use by TfL to evaluate the designs for...

Crossrail 2 are proposing a significant additional land take in Somers Town to create a new entrance to the proposed Euston-St Pancras underground station. Over 130+ homes will be demolished, and a range of local businesses. The new proposal involves loss of Camden council housing at Wellesley House, Churchway. Why is this station not being incorporated into the current Euston 'classic' Station to avoid yet further destruction of homes and businesses, beyond the devastation to be caused by HS2?

When the night tube starts, it can be expected that many passengers will be using the Edgware Northern Line terminus after a journey from central London. It can also be expected that many will be in need of toilet facilities, to avoid abuse of neighbouring streets. Will you reopen the now closed public conveniences at Edgware Station for the period of the Night Tube?

Can I yet again bring to your attention that the train/bus coordination at Mill Hill East is unsatisfactory and unacceptable. The 240/221 bus is not waiting for the passengers at the station and drives off when the drivers know that people are disembarking from the station. Can you sort out the need for better co-ordination between the bus and tube?
