Changes to Kilburn High Road

Brent's Highways Committee is one of those Council backwaters that occasionally has interesting schemes in front of it.  One such was the proposed safety scheme at the northern end of Kilburn High Road.  This is still at a fairly early design stage, and has to be worked out in conjunction with Camden. 

Naturally, most of the attention is focused on improving road safety, which is extremely poor even for such a busy road.  However improving the walkability and the look of the street could also help build it up as a shopping centre.  It actually is seen as one of Brent's key shopping centres, but people have been complaining about its decline for as long as I can remember.  Whereas a single scheme cannot work miracles, there is potential for incremental improvement.
