That's a good idea, possibly the best solution. 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. I also think it could do with a narrow (one abreast in each
direction) cycleway down the middle.


problem with a tram down the middle is that you have to have another 10
miles at either end to make it worthwhile

Busses don't run down OS just to serve Oxford street, they do as as the the
main E-W thoroughfare to use as part of their longer route
