The LCN+ Project Management team are responsible for improving conditions for cycling on a 900-kilometre network of London’s key commuter roads, in line with the Mayor of London’s Cycling Action Plan.

With the initial target of achieving a 200% increase in the number of cyclists in London already surpassed, we are aiming to build on this by continuing to advise the 33 London boroughs on how to improve cycling infrastructure on their roads. By effectively liasing with major stakeholders such as local cycling groups, Borough Cycling Officers and Transport for London, we can ensure that all will have agreed on the solutions reached.

Our services also include supporting the boroughs in bidding for funding, reporting performance to Transport for London and producing an annual report which details the work carried out over all of London in order to create a high quality, consistent network for cyclists.

This is being achieved by implementing various measures to improve safety and comfort whilst providing a relatively short journey time, such as: providing greater priority at junctions for cyclists, minimising conflict with other road users and reducing general traffic speeds where appropriate. The network was aligned to target high-density routes such as those to tube and rail stations, schools and places of business and much of the work concentrates on these areas as these represent potential conflict points.

With the project due to end in 2009/10, we are working hard to provide high quality cycle routes that meet the three key criteria of the LCN+ - to make cycling fast, safe and comfortable.
