Comment on Olympic road changes
Release date: Thursday 8th September 11
The deadline to respond to the consultation on next year’s Olympic Route Network (ORN) is September 14.
Transport for London is seeking views on the ORN, which is likely to have a major impact on the borough. The council is keen that Wandsworth people have their say.
The ORN will operate during next year's Olympic Games and will keep roads clear to enable athletes and officials to travel easily to events. In Wandsworth the ORN will run along Wimbledon Park Side, along West Hill through to Wandsworth, round Wandsworth roundabout and along York Road , Battersea Park Road and Nine Elms Lane to Vauxhall.
In most cases roads along the ORN will be open to traffic, but will be cleared of obstructions and roadworks. It could also include changes to traffic light timings, restricted turns, and suspension of bus stops, parking and pedestrian crossings. However, temporary games lanes, which will be closed to general traffic, operate along some of the ORN.
