Default Mayor Ken's secret plan to rid London of cycling menace.

the A40 has been declassified on the Westway, no longer a motorway,


Indeed. According to uk.transport this was part of an anti-motorist
plan by Ken Livingstone. All the little bits of motorway in London
(parts of the plans to destroy London with motorways that were never
carried out) which the road lobby were hoping would eventually be
linked up have been "declassified".

It would be nice to think that they would soon start removing these
roads, but in reality Mr Livingstone wants to build more motorways,
as the so-called Thames Gateway Bridge clearly illustrates.

present an alternative view of this folly to Mr Livingstone's.
