Mike, the A4 option was considered and dismissed by TfL. The reasons can be seen here: https://consultations.tfl.gov.uk/roads/cs9/user_uploads/response-to-issues-raised-cs9.pdf Start at p23 through to p27. There may be other references elsewhere in the report. One relevant quote from the report: 'Furthermore, designing a route along the A4 would require significant reallocation of space which could result in a series of issues including: loss of pedestrian access to subways, loss of traffic lanes, removal of parking in front of residential buildings, compulsory purchase of residential land, and / or loss of a significant number of trees and verge.' |
