There's a gap in London and we don't want you to mind it. We want to help you bridge it. We need you to sign up to support the Sustrans Bike Bridge.
We need you to help us bridge the gap.
The gap between North and South London. The gap between the commute you have and the commute you want.
The gap between the air quality our city has and the clean air it needs. The gap between the number of bridges west of Tower Bridge and the complete lack of bridges east of it. The gap between where you live and where you work. The gap between the London we have and the London we want.
We need you to pledge your support to help us get a bike and pedestrian bridge built across the Thames between Canary Wharf and Rotherhithe by 2020.
Over 13,000 commutes by bike or foot.
We've done our homework. This bridge would enable over 13,000 clean commutes by pedestrians and cyclists every day. It will be built where it is needed most, in a bridge free part of our city.
A state of the art bridge, car free, pollution free, and free for all to use. Our aspiration is that the Sustrans Bike Bridge will be backed by private funding for public benefit. Its design will be decided after a truly transparent and fair design competition to get the stunning design our stunning city deserves.
We can bridge this gap but we need your support. We need you to help us make it clear to decision makers, politicians and private funders that this is the bridge Londoners want.
German Dector-Vega, Sustrans London Director, comments:
"Catering for increasing transport demand is one of the biggest challenges facing our growing city and we need fresh ideas to solve it. A well designed bridge will make cycling and walking a cheap, quick, clean and healthy alternative to an otherwise busy and crammed journey.
"We worked closely with TfL and other partners on the initial feasibility study and fully support this next stage of work to find exciting, inclusive, cost effective and attractive designs for this new crossing.
"We are delighted that TfL is taking this project forward. Now we need London’s new mayor and businesses to get behind it as well."
As the campaign develops we will need your help. Sign up below for updates.
