What you want patently isn't a pedestrianised zone.Â*Â* 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.


So you don't give much credence to the demand to exclude motor vehicles?

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.
