Issue - meetings

The Cabinet Member for Climate Action, Environment, and Transport and Deputy leader of the Council considered a report for proposed road safety improvements. As part of the approved S106 agreement for the highway development works on 500 White Hart Lane, Haringey Council proposed to introduce road safety and pedestrian accessibility improvements for White Hart Lane N17, as set out on the plan in Appendix A. This detailed plans of a provision of a new zebra crossing outside 550 White Hart Lane, installation of a raised table on Devonshire Gardens at its junction with White Hart Lane, a footway widening on Devonshire Gardens at its junction with White Hart Lane and permit parking removal and waiting and loading amendments. The total cost of the scheme is £125k, and funding was provided by the developer at 500 White Hart Lane as part of a S106 agreement contribution. If and when the Council were to install protected lanes on White Hart Lane the scheme could be modified, if necessary.

The Cabinet Member for Climate Action, Environment, and Transport and Deputy leader of the Council,

RESOLVED

1.          To grant approval of the implementation of the proposal to introduce a zebra crossing outside 550 White Hart Lane.

2.          To grant approval of the installation of a raised table on Devonshire Gardens at its junction with White Hart Lane.

3.          To grant approval of the footway widening on Devonshire Gardens at its junction with White Hart Lane, including permit parking removal and waiting and loading amendments, as set out on the plan in Appendix A.

Reasons for decision

The Council is required to consider the feedback received during the statutory notification

period, in particular any objections to the proposals, prior to proceeding to

implementation. The proposals consulted upon are aimed at improving road safety and

pedestrian accessibility.

Proposed Option

• To install a new raised zebra crossing and associated zig-zag markings on White Hart Lane N17 (outside no. 550), on which vehicles would be prohibited from stopping at all times.

The centre of the crossing will be located at the existing refuge outside no. 550 west of the junction with Fenton Road.

• To remove 11.5 metres of permit parking outside no.498 & 496 Devonshire Gardens and extend the adjacent ‘double yellow’ lines to accommodate widening of the footway.
