They are widening footpaths, installing modal filters, creating ‘pop up’ bicycle lanes and school streets to help people in Lewisham walk & cycle safely during COVID-19. Also, the borough is rolling out a package of temporary measures to support pedestrians and cyclists that includes creating more space for pedestrians near local shops and facilities, putting in schemes to maintain quieter residential streets, creating safer spaces outside school entrances, creating temporary bicycle lanes and wider footways, and engaging with the public's in depth knowledge through a 'Suggest a Scheme' effort.
