The final phases of the Surbiton to Kingston works are now underway. The Surbiton to Kingston route is aimed at improving connectivity on bike and foot between the two centres and includes a number of roads in Surbiton.
Works on Avenue Elmers and Palace Road were completed in February 2017 and a new one-way cycle lane on St Mark's Hill was opened in April 2017. New signage was installed at the end of September 2017 for the permanent traffic restriction on Surbiton Crescent, and permanent traffic islands were installed in December 2017. The road will be resurfaced and signs illuminated in the coming weeks.

Even for dedicated bike commuters, cycling in the worst parts of winter can be a step too far. For those of us who approach any physical activity with mixed emotions, the sight of snow on the ground is a perfect excuse to find any other way to get around. But still, in cities where cycling is common, bike lanes stay busy even when the snow is piling up.
