SUMMARY:

From July 2013 with the opening of the new northern entrance to East Croydon Station, Lansdowne Road will be the vital pedestrian and cycle connection between East Croydon Station, the major South London public transport interchange, and Croydon’s retail core (the Whitgift Centre, North End and Centrale). The proposed improvement works will provide a safer more attractive route to handle the predicted 30% of people who currently use East Croydon Station to access these parts of the town.

These works are part of the wider Connected Croydon programme of public realm enhancements. The project, over the next three years, will deliver a lasting legacy for Croydon Metropolitan Centre

The works will also connect with a proposed new surface-level pedestrian crossing on Wellesley Road that will connect Lansdowne

Road and the main eastern entrance of the Whitgift Centre by 2014. This will further strengthen the role of Lansdowne Road as a direct pedestrian link between the new East Croydon footbridge and Croydon’s major commercial and retail core.

MAIN OBJECTIvES:• To transform Lansdowne

Road between Wellesley Road and Dingwall Road (including Dingwall Road roundabout) into a pedestrian-friendly space that still accommodates vehicles

• To strengthen the sense of arrival to an important London destination by creating an inviting public space

• To set a high-quality benchmark for public realm improvements in Croydon Metropolitan Centre

• To improve connectivity and increase capacity for pedestrians and cyclists between Lansdowne Road and the new East Croydon

footbridge via Lansdowne Walk whilst maintaining its role as a vehicular route

• To preserve existing bus movement and timing, and allow for future increase in capacity

• Improve public transport interchange in the vicinity of the western entrance to the new East Croydon footbridge including a new taxi rank
