Designate Blackfriars Bridge for active transportation only


Designate Blackfriars Bridge for active transportation only
The Issue
It has recently been announced that Blackfriars Bridge will be reopened to vehicular traffic after being closed due to the COVID-19 pandemic for around 18 months. We are asking the City of London to reconsider this decision and designate the bridge as an active transportation route. Over the past 18 months, it has been demonstrated that this one-way bridge is unnecessary to move traffic into the downtown core. Furthermore, it is a heritage bridge that is much more easily enjoyed without the nuisance and danger of motorized traffic. The City should be once again reminded that they declared a climate emergency and should act accordingly.
