A few important EAs for road improvements will be coming before civic works committee.

First the intersection of Highbury & Hamilton will studied to "improvements" though nothing specified yet. I would imagine double left turn lanes to be one proposed improvement, and potentially studying a roundabout, although that may be too much to handle. Scheduled construction year of 2019.

Second the CNR subway on Wharncliffe, between Horton & Beecher will be studied to widen the subway to 4 lanes, plus turning lanes. a temporary diversion of CNR tracks would need to be created. As well Wharncliffe S as whole will be studied from Horton to Commissioners for "corridor optimization", which would include turn lanes, bus bays, and making the corridor more accessible for pedestrians and cyclists. Scheduled construction year of 2019 as well. This would coincide with the proposed CPR subway construction along the Western/Wharncliffe corridor that would make it at least 4 lanes through most of the city, uninterrupted!

Finally the committee is recommending to put a signalized intersection at Riverside & Beaverbrook, as well as a right turn lane from Riverside WB to beaverbrook NB for 2015. Roundabout was considered but was deemed unsuitable. It also shows that there are plans to extend Beaverbrook north of Oxford, swing it west to meet with Proudfoot lane again. As well it's disappointing as it acknowledges that London has no plans in the next 20 years to widen Riverside to 4 lanes, despite plans existing from the 1970s to do so.
