I think this meanace should be addressed if the walk is to remain safe and enticing. I was attacked by stone-throwing youths the other week beside the youth centre at Crouch Hill bridge.

There are few wild natural spaces in this area and this is a habitat that needs protection. <br/><br/>If Haringey are funding these improvement with moeny from an organisation that has the objective of promoting cycling, then they will want more cyclists on that route. <br/><br/>If that's the trade off, then I would prefer that they turned the cash down.

I hope so.<br/><br/>A.W. Couldn’t the Parkland Walk be succesfully divided so that it could be used by cyclists and pedestrians? I hope so.

Most will want to cross over a narrow bridge with parents and children on it heading in the opposite direction to Stroud Green school. Some will turn right into where all the rest of the children are moving. There are no safe crossing zones around the school. Its not a good idea What happens when all the cyclists get to the end of the PW on their morning commute ?

Or some kind of enforced speed-limit anyway. Those who want to travel at speeds dangerous to pedestrians would have to use the road as at present.

The Parkland Walk already <i>is</i> a cycle path! i.e. cyclists (and walkers) already use it as a short cut and a haven from other traffic. Let's get some better drainage in it, but otherwise leave it as it is - it's one of the reasons I moved to this area in the first place.

There is no contradiction in wanting to make Parkland Walk a better cycle route for commuters and a rustic and relaxing place for recreation. The two activities happen at different times.
