The vision is to provide a safe convenient parking area for shoppers/visitors to Green Lanes, Palmers Green N13. We hope to encourage the use of ‘off street’ parking, thereby reducing the dependence on ‘on street’ parking in Green Lanes N13. Enfield are promoting the use of cycles and are introducing a network of cycle paths and dedicated cycle lanes. On street illegal parking can endanger cyclists and cause traffic congestion. Therefore the introduction of a convenient, pleasant, safe, well lit and informative (by use of VMS and message boards), will enhance the overall environment in Enfield.

What we'll deliver:

• • Enable use of HD CCTV
• • Incorporate ‘smart city’ system to allow adaptive sensor controlled lighting, traffic flow and usage information.
• • Install ‘spaces available’ information to authority and remotely situated VMS.
• • Maintain safe environment for all users.
• • Provide charging points for electrical vehicles.
• • Replace existing energy inefficient (HQI-T) lighting, whilst maintaining sufficient lighting to encourage usage.
• • Upgrade car park (partly because of loss of on-street parking from new cycle lanes)

Why it's a great idea:

The project encourages use of off street parking, maintains a safe environment around the car park, reduces crime and energy usage/carbon footprint

Steps to get it done:

• Committed Enfield Council Project
