Burnt Oak to Edgware section runs between Barnfield Road and River Approach to the Station Road / A5100 and Penhurst Gardens Roundabout.

This section roughly corresponds to Edgware urban centre, which is divided by on road and off-road sections.

The off-road sections are composed mainly of the Silk Stream to A5109 and Church Way, both of which require widening of paths, vegetation clearance/ maintenance and lighting upgrades.

Cycling is currently prohibited along Church Way. Apart from Heming Way, the on-road sections of the alignment are A-roads with high traffic flows and may require interventions at junctions. Due to the level

    We did

    We will consider widening paths and upgrading surfaces, particularly along the sections near the train tracks and hospital. As well as reviewing existing fence line on hospital side and better accessibility for users.

    We will consider alternative routes to reduce congestion and improve cyclist and pedestrian safety. Or provide infrastructure that provides protection for all users.
