Do you agree that the failure to give cycle lanes (both on road and off road) additional priority when they go across junctions increases the dangers they face? Will you provide extra funding to enable Transport for London and the boroughs to give cycle lanes extra protection at junctions and to stop cars and other vehicles turning straight across them?

Are you concerned that the changes to Elephant and Castle northern roundabout give too much space to a large piazza that will be under-used, whilst failing to fully cater for the large number of pedestrians and cyclists using the surrounding roads?

Will you look again at the planned changes to the link road connecting the two junctions, where the southbound cycle lane sends cyclists across the path of buses trying to get into the bus stop and bus lane? There are clear conflicts built into the design which could be eliminated if the southbound link road had a similar design to the northbound link road.

Do you regard the new bridge (opened this August) from Fish Island to the Olympic Park as contributing to your declared aim of creating a 'paradise for cycling'? The bridge is all steps and has no side trough for bikes to be pushed up. There is a path to the side with multiple turns that is hard for bikes with large wheels to use, and has to be shared with people using wheelchairs and prams. Is this good enough?

Some residents' groups around Vauxhall want TfL to remove the gyratory at Vauxhall Cross but retain the bus station. Will TfL model the impact of this option on traffic levels, journey times, air and noise pollution levels, and the bus network, and release the results to the public?
