With provision for parking for cycles outside Selfridges, M&S, etc etc? (I know cyclists can walk bikes through a pedestrianised area but I question whether Oxford Street traders want to encourage that rather than a "park and walk" approach.) If there's demand for it, why not?

I reckon a tram down the middle would work fine With depot where? (Not a serious suggestion... but the unused space under Kingsway could be a tram depot...) |

What you want patently isn't a pedestrianised zone. It's a road, restricted to pedal cycles, with 2 wide footways. If you'd like to call it that, yes. And demand from pedestrians doesn't count? Demand to exclude others is not something I tend to give much credence to, TBH. Two very wide kerbs with a cycle road about 7' wide down the middle would give plenty of circulating space.

Selfridges has a car park inside the building above ground level, whereas the delivery bays appear to be beneath the building. |

Two very wide kerbs with a cycle road about 7' wide down the middle would give plenty of circulating space. It's a funny meaning of "circulating space" that allows you to move freely East-West but constrains you North-South. But the consultation is open to all so you are of course free to lobby against eg their "raise the existing carriageway to be flush with the footways thus removing obstacles for disabled people and people with buggies" and the concepts in their artist's impressions of centrally placed seating and lighting. -- Robin reply-to address is (intended to be) valid |

Ped-precinct only from Baker St/Selfridges to Regent St. The biggest problem is where all those buses will go. This is a bad idea: "An 800m-long work of public art could be commissioned". Sounds like a waste of time, space and money. I reckon a tram down the middle would work fine just as it does in Manchester.Â* I also think it could do with a narrow (one abreast in each direction) cycleway down the middle. Neil No, just make it a pedestrian zone, but allow delivery vehicles after midnight until, perhaps 6am. --- This email has been checked for viruses by Avast antivirus software. https://www.avast.com/antivirus |
