Thames Path Feasability Study
|
|
Renaisi was commissioned by the London Borough of Tower Hamlets to evaluate the section of the Thames Path and River Walkway that passes through the Isle of Dogs with a view to enhancing the quality of the local environment. As part of its 2004/05 Action Plan, Local Area Partnership (LAP) 8, which covers the Isle of Dogs and Leamouth aims to increase the numbers of people who walk as part of increasing levels of exercise; and improve local people’s perception of open spaces, by exploiting and improving walking routes. The work required an investigation into the use of the river walkway from Leamouth to Limehouse by existing residents and visitors, and recommendations for improvements. This was to include a study on land ownership and accessibility. The second section of the commission required a comprehensive feasibility study of constructing a pedestrian walkway from Island Gardens to Canary Wharf, using green space and land next to water. This included the issues and barriers to such a plan, as well as an in-depth investigation of possible routes and funding opportunities. |
