How else would you have accommodated road traffic for the Westfield
Centre without "wrecking" the road?


I would have built a new 2+2 road from Wood Lane to Holland Park roundabout
through the development site, and linked the access roads to that. I would
then have made the west side of the green two-way, opened the bus-only cut
through on the east side of the green to all traffic, made the connection
from the green to the roundabout bus/taxi/cycle only, probably one lane each
way. This would make the green into a nice place to sunbathe or shop.


That would have been an excellent plan - but would doubtless have made
JNugent's head explode with rage.
