Has London reacHed peak car? The frequently asked question usually reflects a pessimistic (if realistic) assessment of London traffic. One new solution—proposed by Foster + Partners, Exterior <strong>Architect</strong>ure, and Space Syntax—may prompt Londoners to ask whether peak car can come soon enough. The SkyCycle, a proposed network of elevated bicycle paths, may constitute the world’s first major infrastructure project for bicycle commuters. London authorities estimate that half of the 6 million people who reside within the network’s catchment area live and work within 10 minutes of a proposed SkyCycle entrance. The network has been designed accordingly: It will accommodate up to 12,000 cyclists per hour, per route. The SkyCycle’s backers are planning it as a low-cost, low-impact development that exploits existing industrial corridors. Many of the proposed SkyCycle tracks follow existing railway lines; since these were largely designed for steam engines, they avoid steep gradients already. Foster + Partners describes wide-scale deckbuilding along largely undeveloped rail corridors as an opportunity for commercial regeneration in industrial areas. An elevated network solves another problem: London’s rapidly rising mortality rates for cyclists. While the costs for building the SkyCycle are up there—a 4-mile trial stretch might cost $363 million to build—the cost of doing nothing may be too steep already. k.c.
