4 Baroness Tanni Grey-Thompson Paralympic Games, winning a total of one bronze, one silver and 11 gold medals. In Seoul in 1988, we were bussed through the city with a full police escort, which was terribly exciting at the time, but in hindsight it was all a bit dramatic. I have always thought that athletes are quite simple creatures. What you want as an athlete is to know how long it is going to take to get to your venue, and for that service to be reliable. There is nothing worse than having to leave the Paralympic Village ñ where the athletes live during the Games ñ four hours before you really want to, because you canít rely on transport, or the roads to get to where you are going. These are the little things that make (or break) a Games. These are the things that athletes remember. The stories of athletes missing events remain longer in the memory than athletes getting there. The other reality is that fantastic transport probably only warrants a couple of minutesí conversation, whereas when it is poorly done, athletes will be discussing it years later! There is, of course, more to it than and all the other people who make the Games happen. It is about making transport a good experience for all the people who come to watch. There is no point getting all the athletes where they need to be, if the spectators donít make it as well. Getting these things right will make the Games a brilliant experience for everyone involved. 4 London 2012 Olympic Route Network and Paralympic Route Network

5 Foreword In summer 2012, the world will come to London for the greatest sporting event on the planet. Londoners and thousands of visitors will come together to share the excitement of the Olympic and Paralympic Games. The capital will be full of celebration. It is our ambition that London is a ëpublic transport Gamesí, with 100 per cent of spectators travelling to the Games using the public transport network, or by walking or cycling. This network already moves millions of people every day. But to make sure there is extra capacity, we are investing billions of pounds in upgrades and improvements ñ new lines, bigger stations and extra services. well before the Games, and they will continue to do so for decades to come. At the heart of the celebration in 2012 will obviously be the worldís greatest athletes ñ the thousands of Olympians and Paralympians who will have trained for years for this moment and whose performances will touch the lives of billions of people around the world. We need to ensure that they can get around London ñ between their accommodation, training and competition venues ñ with the minimum of stress so they can perform at their best. To ensure this can happen, London is planning an Olympic Route Network (ORN) and Paralympic Route Network (PRN). These are temporary routes between venues and accommodation within London, and to Games venues around the media and members of the Games Family ñ will take these routes to ensure they can get to where they need to be on time. The ORN and PRN are not new concepts. They have been features of Games since Sydney 2000 and are essential to their success. They were also used at the Manchester Commonwealth Games in The ORN and PRN for 2012 has already been designated in an order agreed by parliament. This document sets out the next level of detail. One of our key aims in the design of the ORN and PRN is to keep London and the UK moving during the Games. The ORN and PRN will be temporary, proportionate, tailored to the local area they pass through and only used when they need to be. The vast majority of roads on the ORN and PRN will be open to all road users during the Games. During the Games it will be ëbusiness as unusualí in London. The city will never have staged an event of this scale. It will be an amazing place to be. There will inevitably be challenges for London and Londoners in staging the greatest show host an inspirational Games of which the whole country can be proud.

6 London is one of the worldís greatest cities and it regularly hosts some of the worldís greatest events. Each year the London Marathon snakes through our streets and every August bank holiday the Notting Hill Carnival takes place. Together with other one-off and regular sporting, music and cultural events ñ such as New Yearís Eve celebrations or the start of the Tour de France in 2007 ñ they are enjoyed by millions of people. As well as excitement, these events present challenges to Londoners. Roads are closed for processions or races and public transport is busier due to the number of visitors. these great events. In fact it is the support and enthusiasm of Londoners that makes these events world-famous. In 2012, Londoners and people across the UK will again come together to share the excitement of the Olympic and Paralympic Games. The worldís greatest athletes will come to one of the worldís greatest cities. It will be the biggest event that London has ever seen and the city will be buzzing ñ along with the excitement at the sporting venues, there will be festivities, cutural events and Live Sites with giant screens showing the sporting action. London 2012 is working with the Mayor of London, Government, Transport for London (TfL) and the London boroughs to ensure everyone can make the most of all the events and festivities happening in London throughout the summer of 2012, and that businesses and residents can plan ahead effectively. This work, together with the measures on the Olympic Route Network and Paralympic Route Network, is essential to the success of the Games and will help us to ensure we keep London moving. 4 billion people around the world are expected to watch the London 2012 Games on TV 20,000 journalists, photographers and broadcasters will be covering the London 2012 Games 6

7 14,700 athletes will compete at the London 2012 Games 800,000 people are expected to use public transport to travel to the Games on the busiest day 46 sports over 29 days of competition 1 million+ people will visit the Olympic Stadium 7

8 Stratford Regional Station London 2012 is investing 125 million to treble capacity and increase accessibility at Stratford Regional Station, where the number of passengers is expected to double to more than 80,000 at peak hours by The improvements include a new accessible mezzanine-level entrance that will ease crowding at the existing entrance and take passengers directly to the westbound Central Line and Docklands Light Railway services. It will also lead to the new Stratford City shopping development, when this opens in 2011, and then on to the Olympic Park. East London Line The new East London Line (ELL) opened in May The service links 21 stations, from Dalston Junction in east London to West Croydon and Crystal four-carriage trains will stop at four brand new step-free stations and at the existing stations that are due to be fully refurbished by early The ELL will be connected to the existing London Overground network at Highbury & Islington Station in spring The line is a key component of the transport plans for the London 2012 Games and is the biggest piece of transport infrastructure for London since the opening of the Jubilee Line extension in Docklands Light Railway A 2.6-kilometre extension of the Docklands Light Railway (DLR) under the River Thames from King George V to Woolwich Arsenal Station opened in January It will provide an important north-south link for Games spectators and offer better connections to the Woolwich area in the long term. A second DLR extension from Canning Town to Stratford International Station (SIS) is due to open in late It will stop at Stratford Regional Station, along with new DLR stations at SIS, Star Lane, Abbey Road, and Stratford High Street. enable it to run three-car trains on most of its network. Many of the platform extensions needed to accommodate these longer trains have been completed and three-car trains are already in service on the BankñLewisham line, easing congestion on this busy commuter route. 100% target for proportion of spectators coming to the Games using public transport or by walking or cycling The London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games has been the catalyst for increasing the capacity and accessibility of Londonís transport infrastructure. Together, the Olympic Delivery Authority (ODA), TfL, Network Rail, central Government and other delivery partners are investing billions of pounds into different schemes so London 2012 can genuinely be a public transport Games. Two years before the Games begin, many of these upgrades are complete leave a lasting legacy for decades to come. 8

9 Walking and cycling More than 100 walking and cycling schemes on nine routes across London ñ including some that link the Olympic Park ñ are being upgraded, as well as paths linking to outer London venues. One of these routes is The Greenway, a 7km off-road pathway that spectators ñ including those walking from West Ham, one of the three ëgatewayí stations to the Park ñ can use to get to the Games. Access points, ramps, signage, nearby vegetation and the path itself have been improved, with resting places provided. Most of these changes will remain after the Games, making The Greenway safer and more appealing to pedestrians and cyclists. Work on The Greenway was completed in spring 2010 and the other summer Kingís Cross Station A new Northern Ticket Hall was opened at Kingís Cross St. Pancras Underground Station in November 2009, providing a vital new link for passengers arriving on Eurostar and mainline services. Combined with the Western Ticket Hall ñ which opened in 2006 ñ it has quadrupled the capacity of the Tube station, improving accessibility. It is already one of the busiest stations on the Tube network and by 2012 more than 100,000 people will pass through it daily at peak times. During the Games, it will be an important interchange for spectators travelling to the Olympic Park on the Javelin Æ service from St. Pancras International. The new western concourse for the by summer North London Line The capacity and frequency of services are being increased on the London Overground North London Line (NLL), which connects Richmond and Clapham in south-west London to Stratford via north London. The upgrade includes new signals, extra tracks and longer platforms, so the NLL can operate four-car instead of three-car trains at a higher frequency and improved capacity. New three-car trains are already in service. The higher frequency service using four cars will start in summer A lasting transport legacy for London London 2012 Olympic Route Network and Paralympic Route Network 9

10 Triple jumper Jonathan Edwards competed in two Olympic Games, winning a gold medal in Sydney in He is the current triple jump world record holder. An Olympic Games or Paralympic Games is the absolute pinnacle of an athleteís life. By the time I won my gold medal at the Sydney 2000 Games, I was 34 years old and a huge chunk of my life had gone into that one evening. Thousands of hours of training, planning and dreaming of this moment. I got to the Olympic Stadium that night with plenty of time to start my warm up and prepare for the event. I was relaxed, focused and I knew exactly what I had to do. The rest is history: a gold medal, a world record and my life has never been the same since. But letís rewind slightly. What if my bus hadnít turned up? What if, while travelling from the Olympic Village where I was staying, to the Stadium, the bus I was on became snarled in No big deal you may think, but it would have undoubtedly affected the time I had to warm up. Thereís a good chance I would have become focus less on what I had to do that night and more on whether I would actually get there on time. I would have gone into the biggest night of my professional life ill-prepared and in the wrong frame of mind. An athleteís life is dominated by schedules, by details and, crucially, by routine. Most of it you take for granted. Looking back now I can appreciate the care and attention to detail that the Sydney Organising Committee put into looking after the athletes and ensuring our experience was the best it could be ñ and getting us from place to place was a huge, if unheralded, part of this. Of course, there will be challenges when London stages the biggest sporting event in weíll get it right.

11 What are the Olympic Route Network and Paralympic Route Network (ORN and PRN)? The ORN and PRN will enable key participants, such as athletes and between venues and their accommodation. 26 hosting the Olympic Games is the equivalent to staging 26 world championships at the same time The Olympic Route Network and Paralympic Route Network (ORN and PRN) are networks of roads linking all the competition and key non-competition venues for the Olympic Games and Paralympic Games. They will enable key participants, to travel safely, securely and accommodation, while also keeping London and the rest of the UK moving. The Olympic Games and Paralympic Games are two of the largest sports events that can take place in a country: the equivalent of staging 26 world championships at the same time for the Olympic Games, and then 20 more for the Paralympic Games. The ORN and PRN are essential measures to help manage be placed on the whole transport network during the Games. The ORN, PRN and associated be proportionate, temporary and will only operate when and where they are needed. These measures restricted turns and temporary Games Lanes. These lanes will run in one or both directions, but will not occupy the entire road. The ORN forms 2.6 per cent of Londonís roads. Less than one per cent will have temporary Games Lanes. The vast majority of roads Shortly after the end of the Paralympic Games, all roads will revert to their normal operation. In London it will be ëbusiness as unusualí during the Games. It will be harder to get around certain areas of the city, but as much information will be available as early as possible to keep London moving.

12 Why are the ORN and PRN needed? London 2012 is required to provide safe, secure and reliable transport services to members of the Games Family. The ORN and PRN will be essential parts of running the London 2012 Games. It is a tried-and-tested approach that has been used to transport key people in previous Games in Sydney, Athens, Beijing and Vancouver. As part of its Host City Contract, London 2012 is required to provide safe, secure and reliable transport services to members of the Games Family (see opposite). This is to ensure the people who ëmake the Games happení can reach their venues within Contract, and in time for their events. History of the ORN and PRN The concept of an ORN and PRN was introduced at the Sydney 2000 Games to ensure athletes, able to get to events on time. This measure was credited as one of the great successes of the Sydney Games and subsequently used at Athens 2004 and Beijing It was also used at the Manchester 2002 Commonwealth Games and most recently at the Vancouver 2010 Winter Games. Measures introduced at these Games included parking restrictions and temporary Games vehicles and emergency services. There were also restrictions such as changed times for deliveries, restricted turns and measures to 12 London 2012 Olympic Route Network and Paralympic Route Network

13 Who will use the ORN and PRN? The ORN and PRN are designed for the rapid transfer of the 80,000 people who are critical to running a successful Games. This group of people is known as the Games Family and includes: ñ athletes, for whom every minute counts for training and competing. They require consistent journey times to get them from ëbed to starting blocksí; ñ such as judges, timekeepers and other people who play vital roles in setting up and running competitions; ñ the media covering the Games, both print and broadcast, including the technical staff needed for live broadcasts from multiple venues, so that the estimated four billion worldwide audience can follow the action; ñ the International Olympic Committee (IOC) and International Paralympic Committee (IPC), as well as the World Anti-Doping Agency, Medical Commission, medal Sports Federations; and ñ Games partners, who provide 1 billion of Games funding and contribute to the operational running of the Games. The London 2012 Organising Committee of the Olympic Games and Paralympic Games (LOCOG) will provide transport to meet the differing needs of each of these groups. Around 55,000 people are expected to require transport each day during the Olympic Games. Wherever possible, this will be ëmass movementí by bus and coach. Members of the Games Family who travel in smaller groups or whose work during the service may use shared or dedicated car services. In addition to vehicle-based services, Games Family members will have access to Londonís public transport network. They will be given information on public transport services and will be encouraged to use them where possible. The ORN and PRN will help to ensure 20,000 journalists, photographers and broadcasters ñ and their equipment ñ can get to events on time London 2012 Olympic Route Network and Paralympic Route Network 13

15 Where will the ORN and PRN operate? Most of the ORN and PRN is in London, where the majority of the sporting venues are located. However, it also extends to other venues around the UK, such as Weymouth and Portland, which is hosting the Sailing events. The roads on the ORN and PRN are divided into the following categories: ñ Core: routes between accommodation, the Olympic Park and other main venues that will be heavily used by the Games Family. These roads are entirely within London. ñ routes linking other competition venues, accommodation locations and international arrival points. Many of these routes will only operate when the venues are in use. ñ Training venues: routes linking the preferred training venues to the rest of the ORN and PRN. These need to be free from obstruction before and during the Games to allow athletes to travel between their training venues and events. ñ Alternative: routes used in the event that a core or venueroute is not usable for any reason. Maps giving an overview of the ORN and PRN are on pages 16ñ17 and 18ñ19 respectively. More detailed maps of the routes in central London are on pages 34ñ43. The roads that will be used for the ORN and PRN were formally designated by the Secretary of State for Transport in summer The routes. However, there will be some amendment to the ORN and PRN following further analysis of roads or measures. Subsequent to the designation in 2009, the ODA has engaged with local authorities and, as a result, some amendments to the ORN and PRN are proposed as part of the ODAís ongoing programme of consultation. ñ Some routes are to be removed and not replaced, for example Chiswick High Road. ñ Some routes will be removed and replaced, for example in the Homerton area. ñ Some routes are to be added, for example, once it is opened, the new Weymouth Relief Road, and roads close to venues such as Wimbledon. ñ Some categories of route are to be changed. For example, some roads around Greenwich Park will change from a core route to an alternative route. Any amendment to the designated route is subject to full consultation and will require the consent of the Secretary of State. A consultation document detailing the changes currently anticipated can be found in the ëformal consultationsí section at london2012.com/orn. The maps of the ORN and PRN will be updated after the amendment process has been completed. They will be published in 2011 on this website.

18 When will the ORN and PRN operate? may only need to operate on the days when competition is taking place. measures are temporary and will only operate when they are needed. They will be determined by demand, location and competition schedule. Core route The core route will cover the main roads between central London and the Olympic Park, and venues such as the North Greenwich Arena and ExCeL. This will be the busiest part of the ORN and PRN. Every day throughout the Games, from their accommodation in central London to Games venues, and athletes from the Olympic Village to venues outside the Olympic Park. but broadly, the core route will be operational from 6am to midnight. Some of the core routes will operate before and after the Games to allow for arrivals and departures. need to operate on the days when competition is taking place and hours schedule. Although there will be variations, these routes will typically be operational from 7am to 4pm, or 7am to 7pm when competition is taking place. Outside London Similarly, the routes to venues outside the capital, such as Eton Dorney, Hadleigh Farm, Lee Valley White Water Centre and Weymouth and Portland, will operate as and when they are needed. Between the Games Between the end of the Olympic Games and the beginning of the Paralympic Games, some of the core route may still be needed to allow for departures from the Olympic Games and arrivals for the Paralympic Games. Much of the rest of the ORN will not be needed during this period and will revert back to normal as soon as is practically possible. Paralympic Games During the Paralympic Games, the PRN (see map on pages 18ñ19) will operate in the same way but on a much smaller scale than the ORN. Once the Paralympic Games end, roads will revert to their normal operation. Archery at Lord s The Archery competition is taking place at Lordís Cricket Ground in St Johnís Wood, north-west London. The event is scheduled to days of the Olympic Games, after route on the ORN will no longer be needed. 20 London 2012 Olympic Route Network and Paralympic Route Network

20 How will the ORN and PRN work? measures are not anticipated on the training or alternative ORN and PRN routes. While we need to ensure members of the Games Family are able to travel, on time, every day of the Games, it is also essential that the millions of Londoners and visitors can go about their daily business with as little disruption as possible. Roadworks free Ensuring roads are kept clear of obstructions will be essential for Games. From time to time, the road network obviously has to be worked on and dug up for maintenance, improvements or to access infrastructure and utilities below the surface. Delivery partners and the ODA are working with highway authorities, councils and utility companies to ensure non-essential roadworks do not take place during the Games on any ORN or PRN roads. Measures The Olympic Games and Paralympic Games Act 2006 gave the ODA a range of temporary powers to during the Games. The ODA is working with its delivery partners and local highway authorities to design the detailed measures along the route, proportionate to demand and the local area. Consultation and engagement on these will take place at a local level from autumn Measures may include: ñ ñ restricted turns; ñ side road closures to general businesses where possible); ñ suspension of parking and waiting bays; ñ suspension of some pedestrian crossings; and ñ temporary Games Lanes (see opposite). not anticipated on the training or alternative ORN and PRN routes. Physical changes, such as parking or loading restrictions, and alterations to junctions, will be temporary. Permanent alterations, such as ORN and PRN routes and CCTV cameras, have already been put in place. These are already helping to on the ORN and PRN will help to ensure athletes can get to the start of their events in good time non-essential roadworks will not take place on the ORN and PRN 22 London 2012 Olympic Route Network and Paralympic Route Network

Temporary Games Lanes Temporary Games Lanes will be a temporary measure mainly used on the busiest sections of the network. vehicles and blue-light emergency vehicles on call. The Lanes will periods of time, where and when they are needed to meet journey times very limited on motorways outside London. The ODA is planning CCTV coverage at anticipated congestion points and instant messaging signs to provide travel updates on the network. The ODA is working with the Highways Agency and other organisations to reduce response times to accidents and emergencies. maximised wherever possible. Temporary Games Lanes may be located in one or both directions and in the nearside, middle or offside lanes, depending on the road layout (see maps on pages 24ñ27). However, the vast majority of temporary Games Lanes will generally be located in offside lanes, as this has been shown during previous Games to cause less and other restrictions may be necessary to ensure participants and spectators can travel to events safety and reliably.

24 How will the ORN and PRN work? (continued) Proposed signage indicating temporary Games Lanes on the Olympic Route Network. Signage is also being developed for the Paralympic Route Network Signs and road markings A variety of signs and road markings will be used to give the necessary priority to authorised vehicles on the ORN and PRN, and to redirect other road users in a safe manner. Signs will be used to indicate temporary Games Lanes and other measures along the route. The ODA is working with the Department for Transport to agree the temporary road signs needed to operate the network. Signs and road markings are being developed based on recognised standards and techniques and these will be legally enforceable. Testing the ORN and PRN Tests will take place to ensure that journey time targets can be reliably achieved using the ORN and PRN. This will provide early warning of the problems most likely to occur during the Games, so that measures and operational plans can be adjusted as necessary. A testing programme is currently being developed and more information will be available in the coming months. Reducing travel during the Games Hundreds of thousands of people will be coming to the UK ñ in particular London ñ in the summer of 2012, to experience the Games and everything else that London and the UK have to offer. This will obviously create additional pressure on Londonís transport network. People who use public transport in the city on a daily basis may have their journeys affected. They may need to think about reducing their travel during the Games. They may need to travel at different times or use different routes and modes of transport. There will be a range of information for business and the general public as the Games get closer. People need information about the likely impacts and as much time as possible to adjust their travel plans during the summer of 2012 where necessary. These measures have proved successful in previous Host Cities. Public road use during the Sydney 2000 Games fell by around 20 per cent, with nearly double that reduction in some locations. During the Athens 2004 Games, there was a 30 per of Vancouver experienced a decrease of more than 30 per cent in road Winter Games. City Operations As well as the road events during the Games such as the Marathon, there will be a great number of events and festivities happening in London during the summer of There will be lots of extra people moving around, especially in central London, and around the Olympic Park and the venues in the River Zone at ExCeL and Greenwich. London 2012 is working with the Mayor of London, TfL and the London boroughs to ensure there is effective communication with businesses and residents about how any measures associated with the Games and these other events might affect them and how they can plan ahead. This work ñ known as City Operations ñ will, alongside the ORN and PRN, help to ensure that London keeps moving throughout summer London 2012 Olympic Route Network and Paralympic Route Network

25 How will the ORN and PRN be enforced? To run the Games successfully and keep the rest of London and the UK moving, it is essential that illegal parking and driving do not impede The aim is prevention, not cure. This will be achieved through: ñ widespread publicity and communication ahead of the Games to ensure people understand the purpose of the ORN and PRN and their importance to the success of the Games. This includes intensive consultation and engagement with people living and working on the route and information for drivers on how the ORN and PRN will operate; ñ clear on-street signs; ñ a visible on-street presence to ñ a rapid response service to remove illegally parked, broken down, damaged or abandoned vehicles from the ORN and PRN. A variety of highway authorities are along the ORN and PRN, so many agencies will have a delivery role. The ODA is working closely with LOCOG, as well as local authorities, police authorities, TfL and the Highways Agency. TfL is leading the project within London and holding discussions with London boroughs and the Metropolitan Police. The aim of any enforcement regime will be to act as a deterrent so the ORN and PRN operate effectively. A range of enforcement measures will be employed to deter drivers from obstructing the route, including CCTV cameras and mobile enforcement teams. The London Olympic and Paralympic Games Act 2006 allows the ODA to set the level of Penalty Charge Notices for certain offences contravening Games on the ORN or PRN, subject to consultation and the Secretary of Stateís approval. The ODAís proposed approach is that there should be a single penalty level for all contraventions, whether on or off the ORN or PRN, made while stationary or moving, and in London or outside. The ODA proposes a single penalty of 200. There would be a discount of 50 per cent if paid promptly, in line with standard practice for other civil There will be a statutory period of consultation on the penalty levels. A consultation document is available at london2012.com/orn Transport Coordination Centre The Transport Coordination Centre (TCC) is being established for the Games. It will bring together representatives from London 2012, government, security and operators of all modes of transport across the UK. The TCCís main role will be to share information and provide objective, practical responses to incidents across all modes of transport. ORN and PRN to help ensure will be real-time communication targeted at drivers, residents and businesses to keep everyone up to date with the latest information on the ORN and PRN. The TCC will leave a legacy of improved operation and coordination of Londonís transport long after London 2012 Olympic Route Network and Paralympic Route Network 29

26 Who will be affected by the ORN and PRN? The vast majority of roads on the ORN and PRN will be open to all road users. The ORN and PRN are being designed to minimise disruption to general road users while meeting the City Contract, but inevitably they may cause some inconvenience. While the vast majority of roads on the ORN and PRN will be open to all road users, some side roads may have to be closed at certain times during the Games. However, where possible, access will be maintained for residents and businesses directly affected by the ORN and PRN. The ODA is working closely with other restrictions around sporting and non-sporting venues during the Games, to properly coordinate plans and minimise disruption. The Royal Artillery Barracks The Royal Artillery Barracks in Woolwich will host the Shooting and Paralympic Archery competitions. The ODA has already been in close discussion with the London Ambulance Service to ensure Games-related access to the Queen Elizabeth Hospital and good highway access is maintained throughout the Games. 30 London 2012 Olympic Route Network and Paralympic Route Network

28 What is the consultation process for the ORN and PRN? The experience of previous Host Cities has shown that the key to a successful ORN and PRN is good preparation, and early and effective communication with those who may be affected. The ODA is committed to an extensive programme of consultation and engagement with people who are most affected to ensure any adverse impacts are minimised. Individuals and organisations were able to comment on the ORN and PRN during the consultation periods of the ëtransport Plan for the London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Gamesí, which were published in October 2007 and December 2009 respectively. The Department for Transport also held a consultation on the designation of the routes, which was published in December Consultation with local authorities along the routes has taken place since Discussions have also involved a range of road users, transport operators and interest groups, including: ñ the freight business, through a Road Freight Group set up in partnership with freight organisations to work through the issues of servicing businesses; ñ emergency services, to ensure they can operate as usual; ñ bus operators; ñ taxi and private hire vehicles, through a working group seeking to ensure the industry can provide a service to the huge amount of visitors in 2012; ñ cyclists and pedestrians, through the London 2012 Active Travel Advisory Group; ñ major projects, such as Crossrail; and ñ residents, businesses and other stakeholders, including at public meetings. Discussions about the ORN and PRN have taken place with road users 32 London 2012 Olympic Route Network and Paralympic Route Network

29 After detailed communication will continue with people who may be affected by the measures. From September 2010, the ODA will work with local authorities to share detailed plans more widely within their communities. This process will give people who live or trade on the ORN and PRN and interest groups the chance to out more information about the proposed measures and comment on the proposals. Some measures are then subject to when a statutory period of formal consultation will apply. Notices of proposals will be published locally, providing the public with the opportunity to make formal comments. The ODA is responsible for producing draft TROs, managing the formal consultation process and dealing with the issues raised. close communication will continue with people who may be affected by the measures to respond to any concerns and see where alternative solutions can be put in place. This will continue up to and during the London 2012 Games. Timeline Autumn 2010 onwards: design and development of plans in conjunction with local authorities and highway authorities. From October 2010: publicising local proposals, area by area. October 2010 to 2012: statutory formal consultation process on TROs and ongoing engagement with local authorities, businesses, residents and other affected parties.
