East Dulwich - Streets for People
About the project
In 2020, as part of the wider Dulwich Streetspace programme, temporary traffic filters were placed in the following locations:
- Melbourne Grove north
- Melbourne Grove south
- Derwent Grove
- Elsie Road
- Tintagel Crescent
The locations have been selected as they are key routes for people travelling to the local schools and station.
The traffic filters have since been made permanent and we are now exploring enhancements to the public realm. This is part of the council’s Streets for People ambition that will:
- encourage active travel and create safer walking and cycling routes
- make our streets a more greener and climate resilient environment
- encourage social interaction and provide space to sit and relax
- a better place for all who live, work study and visit
Our proposal
We are now working on revising our proposal following the public feedback received during the consultation in January to February 2024.
Our proposal includes:
- good quality space, accessible for all
- wider and more direct pedestrian crossings and a new zebra crossing
- separating pedestrians, cyclists and motorists
- reducing speed through traffic calming
- more cycle parking and virtual loading bay
- more trees and greenery
- outdoor seating
Footway extended and existing loading bay raised to footway level on Grove Vale.
Side road raised to improve conditions for pedestrians at junction with Railway Rise.
New zebra crossing across Grove Vale and proposed landscaping including new tree planting at junction with Melbourne Grove.
Proposed landscaping including new tree planting at junctions with Derwent Grove and Elsie Road.
Footway extended over side roads with access maintained for cyclists and emergency vehicles at junctions with Melbourne Grove, Derwent Grove and Elsie Road.
Proposed modal filter allowing cyclists and emergency vehicles only.
Proposed landscaping including new tree planting.
Inset drawings of proposed and existing layouts for 8 locations.
What is next
Feedback from this consultation will inform the formal decision-making process around summer 2024.
There will be an opportunity to comment on the statutory elements of the project during the statutory consultation phase in summer 2024.
We aim to commence construction in early 2025.
