| Proposed changes | Reasons for change |

| Improved access to Leyton Jubilee Park - A new crossing between Park Road and Marsh Lane - A new crossing between Leyton Grange Road and Villiers Close - Segregated cycle tracks on both sides of the road between Simons Road, Ive Farm Close and Leyton Grange | To make it easier and safer to cross the road and to improve access to Leyton Jubilee Park for local homes and schools, and to make it safer and more appealing to cycle to Leyton Jubilee park. |
| Road safety improvements - Cycle friendly speed humps along Capworth Street and Manor Road - Raised T-junction at the junction of Church Road and Capworth Street | To improve safety for all road users, and to address safety issues raised as part of our consultation. |
| New cycle route - Direct cycle route parallel to Church Road along Capworth Street, Manor Road and Grange Park Road - A protected cycle lane southbound between Markhouse Junction and Capworth Street - New signs to local places of interest and to other walking and cycling routes | To provide people who cycle with a fast, quiet alternative to Church Road and to protect cyclists on the approach to Capworth Street.
