Styles Gardens – Rathgar Road passageway

Styles Gardens – Rathgar Road passageway

One of the key contributions of the LJ Works project is that it will create a new pedestrian and cycle route that links Styles Gardens to Loughborough Junction Station and helps make a more walkable and cycle friendly neighbourhood.

The following design for the route has been factored in, as well as operational measures that Meanwhile Space, as the site operator for the LJ Works site, will implement to ensure that the route is safe and pleasant:

  • New gates are being installed at the Styles Gardens and Rathgar Road entrances to the site. These gates will be automated and will automatically lock overnight. Opening and closing times will be clearly displayed.
  • Only LJ Works tenants will have access to the site out of hours.
  • Outdoor lighting is being designed and installed onto the buildings to ensure that the route is well lit.
  • The Loughborough Farm will be landscaping the open space by the arches to include planters and seating, that will overlook the route.
  • Contact details for LJ Works management will be made available, so that any security concerns can be quickly and easily reported.

Meanwhile Space are also obtaining leases from Arch Co for three additional arches within the Rathgar Road viaduct, that will face onto the site and create more ‘eyes on the street’ into the project.
