A consultation is underway over proposals for the redevelopment of the area outside Ealing Broadway Station.

More than 40,000 people enter and exit the station every weekday – and with Crossrail that number is set to increase significantly in the coming years. Pedestrians make up around three quarters of those using the vicinity of the station.

Wider footways, informal seating, more trees and a new pedestrian crossing are some of the suggestions to help welcome people to Ealing Broadway.

This current proposal aims to improve the area for those on foot, and ensure that Ealing Broadway can continue to accommodate rising numbers of visitors into the future.

The main aims are to:

Provide for busy pedestrian flows by widening footways where possible
Make getting around easier with new pedestrian crossings
Add to the existing character the area by protecting existing trees, and providing new trees where possible
Carefully position street furniture to minimise impact on pedestrian flows
Choose materials that tie in with the existing high-quality paving on surrounding footways
Include cycle parking near the station entrance, to enable more sustainable travel
Avoid high maintenance costs in the future by designing for durability

The consultation is not seeking comment on the rebuild of Ealing Broadway Station or the Crossrail project itself, just on the exterior public realm.

comments will be collated and considered.
