lewisham roundabout

It looks fairly quiet on a gray Saturday afternoon in August.

But some day it will no longer be a cyclists' nightmare next to a scrubby patch of green and a concrete water culvert where all the public transport is isolated from the main shopping centre.

Some day it will be "retail, offices, hotel, residential, education, health and leisure premises, parking and associated infrastructure, open space and water features. " according to Lewisham Council And there are also alternative views.

I don't mind that cyclists aren't going to be relegated to cyclepaths but instead we will have advanced stop areas at traffic lights, but a share for cyclists in some decent bus lanes will be important.
More detail about the plans instead of huge inaccessible files next to some marketing gumph so that we can all make real decisions would be nice too.
