Ride to Save the CS2 Upgrade
The Cycle Superhighway 2 upgrade consultation ends soon – Sunday 2nd November. Market traders at Whitechapel currently oppose the proposal and we know the Council take their views very seriously (read the Mayor’s letter here).
It’s really important that we take action fast.
Let’s show our love for Whitechapel Market and demonstrate to traders that the improved Cycle Superhighway 2 will bring big benefits to their business. Join us as we ride to the market and show traders that cyclists are customers too!
Bring every possible pannier, saddlebag and basket to fill with your market goodies.
On Saturday 25th October meet us either:
- Under the Green Bridge at Mile End at 11am (outside Nandos, 552 Mile End Rd, E3 4PL).
- On the corner of Whitechapel Road and Sidney Street at 11:30am (opposite the White Hart pub)
For those joining us at Mile End we’ll cycle together down the current CS2 to the famous Whitechapel Market. We’ll spend some time shopping and talking through the issues with traders. Leaflets will be available to give out to traders, shops and shoppers on the day. Although don’t worry if you’d rather not do the talking – shopping is just as important!
Together we can show that improving cycling infrastructure can improve local business.
Help save the plans for the CS2 upgrade – join us on Saturday 25th October.
For those that wish, afterwards we’ll be extending the ride to a local café for tea and cake (approx. 5 miles).
Finally, be sure to respond to the CS2 upgrade consultation - Transport for London need to hear your support for their proposals.
