Ward: Queen's Park
Streets Affected: Harrow Road, Kilburn Lane, Ladbroke Grove
Project Type: Traffic, Safety & Parking
Project Overview
The junction of Kilburn Lane, Ladbroke Grove, and Harrow Road is currently signalised for vehicular traffic, but there is no pedestrian phase. The primary objective of this scheme is to provide a more pedestrian friendly environment by including an "all red" phase for general traffic allowing "green man" time on all four arms of this signalised junction improving the experience for pedestrians navigating the junction.
The scope of the scheme also includes -
- Resurfacing of the junction and all approaches, with anti-skid surfacing on all signal approaches.
- Renewal of footway materials where required.
- New dropped kerbs at signalised crossings.
- Improved bus accessibility on the western footway of Kilburn Lane by the removal of the existing
- triple height kerb.
- New functional street lighting
- Widening of the carriageway on the east side of Kilburn Lane, cutting back the wide footway, to improve the network resilience at the junction.
- Minor amendments to loading restrictions on Harrow Road (WCC) and Kilburn Lane (Brent).
