Zebra crossing Florence/Tollington

dion

i disagree with the fact that you think it is in a stupid place. all the people walking down to the station from lancaster, florence and beyond use it every day. and there are lots of them. if no one uses it, then why did our beloved lynne f get a petition going?

OK I think I get it now - having to career up on the pavement where the steel window shop is. In which case yes I agree with you.

dion

No, still disagree.

I am great at fighting and middling at a dance-off. It would have to be a fair fight or a fair dance-off.

Or a zebra crossing russian roulette. One on each lane. First one to get hit by a car loses. Medi would provide PIZZAS for the audience.

miss annie

I would bet a hundred thousand pounds on Misscara to win any dance off, fair or otherwise. She has quite exceptional stamina.

I thought there was something weird about the crossing as I walked past it tonight - the yellow lights on top of the poles aren't working.

Probably explains why someone else nearly got run over as I passed it.

I have reported it to fixmystreet

helen

fixed and flashing. be careful out there folks.

I have been watching this crossing closely and have realised that the worst offenders are Working Class people. Upper Class people are the next worst and Middle Class are the nicest. Mini-cabs are in a class of their own. Though I am not sure if Working Class people owning cars makes them Middle Class or not. If so, then it would be the Middle Classes to blame.

I can't believe the tone this thread has taken. You are clearly all fascists.

dion

One of the belisha beacons has been smashed. This thread is definitely on topic.

At last, after years of tireless campaigning and making this forum boring, I got a Public Consultation thing through the letterbox today with Options 1, 2 and 3.  Not having a PhD in Road Science, I am a bit confused.  But basically, they are going to upgrade the crossing one way or another. So, a victory for petty ranting on SG.org, and a random email or two to a local journalist - and our local MP and councillors

Good work!<br>

I vote for building a cable car across UTP.  As long as its included in my travelcard.<br><br>

Ali

It would probably  get more use than the other whcih starts no wheer and goes no where !

Arkady

I love the new cable car - elegant structure and amazing views.<br><br>I don't think that the Greenwich Peninsular/O2 or Royal Docks/Excel are best described as 'nowhere'.  <br>

miss annie

I love the cable car too!

Does the consultation leaflet have a web address?  Being a transport engineer (no PhD in Road Science, only a merely MSc) and having used that crossing twice a day for a couple of years I'm sure I could add a few things!<br>

The cable car is weird, as if Boris had some gift vouchers to build a ski-lift and then threw two darts at a map of London to decide where to put it.

I love that cablecar, but is it on a peninsula or a peninsular?  Worried now.<br>

miss annie

It was supposed to be just for the Olympics, to connect all the venues over there. I'm glad it's staying. Peninsula.
