Also on page 67, what does it mean by secondary frontages
'B. The Wood Green North sub-area will become a food and drink-oriented area, building on the public houses and restaurants which already exist in this area, and the demand for this use from visitors to Alexandra Palace who arrive at Wood Green Underground station.
i. Secondary frontages will be allocated on all frontages along Station Rd to encourage a mix of uses. This includes sites which do not currently have active ground floor uses.'

It's normally used to define commercial activity. So in this case the primary frontages would be those in the High Street and the secondary ones on roads leading off the primary frontage (like Station Road) or nearby.

Thanks, it's quite confusing if you're not used to the positive spin jargon.

They're town planning terms but yes, not very helpful to most people reading the document.

I don't think there is any plan to pedestrianise the High Road. The Town Square referred to on page 65 is clearly not on the High Road - see the map on page 73. (I'm not clear where the Civic Square is.) Also on page 74 the High Road is clearly labelled a primary route.

The Orange on the map looks like it implies new pedestrianised areas no ?

If Haringey Council gets its way and the Crossrail 2 extension includes Wood Green Tube station rather than Turnpike Lane station then the block housing the Vue cinema, Nando's and Wetherspoon Spouters Corner will be demolished to allow the subterranean works to be carried out. Hardly utilising existing facilities, eh?

Just spotted the road through the park off station road, that's a crap idea if ever I've seen one. Page 74.

This route was something I picked up on HoL early on since it appeared to confirm the route of the Wood Green Bypass as shown then on done Wightman. However the purpose of the route is not clear. I wondered aloud if the "New Primary Route" is something aimed at pedestrians or vehicles. There is not a single mention of the phrase anywhere in the text. I'm currently assuming this reference is to a pedestrian route, not withstanding my understanding that nonetheless they want a very similar route to form a Wood Green bypass.

My reading of this is there will be a cycle+pedestrian route connecting the s-bend in Mary Neuner with Wood Green Common, highlighted in green in this screenshot (from p84):
The previous page (83) described the east-west and north south routes in more detail. Mary Neuner itself will be a bus route, so cyclists wishing to continue south will have to rub along with cars and buses through the new flats until they reach the new Quietway (sic) on Wightman Road described on p51 (although the diagram on p51 shows the cycle route following the s-bend round and down Coburg rather than continuing straight).

The blue line also goes through the tunnel that takes you to the reed beds which is only wide enough for bikes and pedestrians. The blue lines must key walk and cycle ways leaving Wood Green Hugh street as a possible pedestrian route. Remember they are planning on getting rid of the shopping centre bridge ...
So other orange glow area possible is where the new square will be.

Either that or underground tunnels ? Doubt it though because they are so expensive.
Think blue lines represent cycle super highways and orange bit represent pedestrianised fun areas.
Which would seriously slow down the traffic unless back streets were allowed to take the strain. - Attachments:
