This seems like a dreadful idea to me - the epitome of the planning
mentality that puts roads above people.

Yes, there needs to be walking access to the arch from the park, but the
solution is not to move the arch, it's to get rid of the absurd gyratory
system around it; drop the roads down a few metres and put it in an
underpass, either as a gyratory, or as a straightforward pair of forks. I
favour the latter - it would make navigation by car more awkward, and so
reduce traffic. Hey presto, people can now walk from Oxford Street,
through the arch, into Hyde Park!

No, i don't know where i'd put the tube station booking hall. Details!
