The planned development has been approved.... a new Thameslink station south
of the NCR is part of the plan. Also a new road bridge from the A5/Oxgate
Gardens junction eastward over the railway. I'd like to think the new bridge
will make Cricklewood Lane less trafficky, but the extra houses in the area
might mean the end result is an even more congested area.

but it won't be built until there are enough passengers to serve it.
By which time, of course, all those passengers will have long since
found alternative routes

There's also the question of existing stations, which now might be
closed down rather than making them long enough for new trains

As time goes by, to prevent that congestion, restrictions in parking
at the houses will gradually be introduced on the later houses built.
I can forsee some interesting events when the phase 2 people start
parking in the phase 1 spaces, because they don't have enough spaces
of their own

There's an interesting structure of transport committees designed to
oversee all this, with extra committees to insulate the master
committee from any protests. The master committee was originally to
be just Barnet and the developers, but TfL partially forced their way
on to it, but only for some kinds of decision

And the bike plans, especially for the new Borisway 11, are a true
black comedy, even though the lift has now gone. The area is to have
not one, but two bike plans, or rather a "plan" and a "strategy", but
not, of course, until everything has already been set in concrete
(probably literally) A good facility has been defined as one meeting
the London Cycling Design Standards, which, for example, recommend a
design speed for bike paths half that used in other countries.

Don't mention pay parking for Brent Cross shoppers.

The little tram, to share the tracks with the Southampton -
Heathrow - Cambridge High Speed 3 rail line, and the existing freight
trains, will not be built, nor the Orbital Tube
