Testing and refining the designs for

- the junction between Stanmore and Waldeck (the ‘wishbone’)

- the ‘break-points’ (as are proposed for Langham Road and Mannock Road)

To make sure they work. Can fire engines and refuse lorries can still pass?

Make small changes and focus on details e.g. tree species, art and tree guards.

Construction is due to start in the Autumn, at the earliest September

Please note the focus for Saturday 9th July is the junction of Stanmore & Waldeck and the ‘break-points’ which are proposed for Langham Road and Mannock Road. However, this is a quick summary of where we are up to with the other designs. 9th July 2011

‘Gateway’ and Junction treatment @ Stanmore and Waldeck (AKA ‘The Wish Bone’)This will combine a ‘gateway treatment’ and a road narrowing to slow traffic along Stanmore Road.

This will slow traffic along this ‘cut through’ route.

NEW introduction of car club bays

A number of ‘gateways’ to the neighbourhood are planned. They will: • Welcome visitors to the neighbourhood and subtly signal to drivers they are entering a residential neighbourhood and need to slow down

• Use physical interventions such as road narrowings and attractive speed tables to slow traffic speed.

• Include ornamental trees to add character and offer potential for bespoke artwork to give identity to the neighbourhood

• Create a controlled ‘sense of ambiguity’ to encourage slower traffic speeds

Tree planting visually narrows the streetscape and signals entry into a different character area. Possible Species: Cherry Tree

The centre of the space is constructed with a darker shade of 'keyblock' paving to give defintion (inverted pattern). Laid in herringbone, it is edged in kerbing flush to the carriageway.

• Irregular and unconventional character of this intervention creates a controlled level of ambiguity to encourage drivers to slow and approach with care at this important gateway to the neighbourhood.

• The design will provides a strong visual character for the neighbourhood which will be carried through all the design features. This will comprise the colour, pattern and type of block work, the tree planting and detailing of tree grilles and guards.

• Carriageway is narrowed to reduce traffic speed. Tree planting also helps to reduce forward visibility (and further reduce traffic speed)

DIY StreetsTurnpike Lane / West Green

There will be several features to ‘break up’ long, straight sections of road to slow traffic speed.

They will feature a central ‘traffic island’ with a tree to ‘break up’ the linearity and ‘forward visibility’ of the street

• The shape of the traffic island will create a subtle ‘chicane’ effect which will deflect drivers off the straightest and fastest route

• An irregular and original looking design will create a controlled level of ambiguity and encourage drivers to slow down

• The colour and pattern of the block paving will visually narrow the road, whilst still allowing for minimum width for emergency vehicles

• A Cherry tree is proposed to provide seasonal colour

Improved civic ‘heart’ to the community

• Avenue of mature trees creates ‘civic’ character• • Retained and additional strips of granite (or similar)

setts at entry points contribute to local character and provide ‘rumble’ effect to encourage slower traffic speed

• • Paving blocks laid in a pattern creates ‘sense of

place’ and challenges priority of vehicles

• Existing cycle and pedestrian route to become shared path with less signage ‘clutter’

• New ‘anti-skid’ surface treatment in ‘buff’ colour - see example below

Example of the surface treatment we are proposing

A new informal play space is proposed which references the railway which used to run through this area:

• New landscaping to provide play opportunities

• New railway sleepers help to define the space and create informal seating

• New planting to provide seasonal colour

gThere has been some discussion about the colour and pattern of block paving:

The idea behind this is to create a different kind of feel to the neighbourhood and challenge the priority of vehicles.

We haven’t made a final decision on this but currently favour a random pattern such as this (sent in by a resident). We plan to try out some ideas again today with more paving blocks.

Art?

We have a special session focussed on art organised for the evening of Wednesday 27th July @Christ Church on Waldeck Road from 7pm
