Default Partially pedestrianised Oxford St in 2018

I disagree. If there is a cycleway then it has to be wide enough for
cyclists to miss pedestrians who will step out infront of them.


They have brakes, don't they?


Famously, not always. Or was that your point?

With depot where?

(Not a serious suggestion... but the unused space under Kingsway could
be a tram depot...)

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.Â* I also think it could do with a narrow (one abreast in each
direction) cycleway down the middle.

No, just make it a pedestrian zone, but allow delivery vehicles after
midnight until, perhaps 6am.
