The decades of discussions are finally leading to the #pedestrianisation of one of the great streets of the world: #OxfordStreet, #London
Will it revitalise the retail & activity in this iconic street? Or will it simply make it less desirable to go there?

Absolutely! #Soho has always been the obvious starter for central #London #pedestrianisation!
Tomorrow's #OxfordStreet #pedestrianisation headlines, today.
"If #Galway continues with car-centric planning and delayed decision-making, the consequences are clear"
A surprising source for this very interesting article... #publictransport #pedestrianisation #cycling

So, she was hit by a person driving a car. A Human being killed her, not a car. The car was the weapon, not the attacker. And this is why pedestrian deaths are not taken more seriously. Was she following advice from #npr?

Very strange to see these new road yield markings on Old Cornmarket, Navan. Are these really needed on a pedestrianised street? The montage image below shows what was proposed for here, and these markings seem completely over the top and unnecessary.

I'm loathe to suggest more changes to the planning system but government must ensure developers provide basic infrastructure before homes are occupied. The MHCLG has “rules”… but have you ever seen a rule not be broken?

#UK-media always gazing at #US's navel has distracted us from the progress #EU-countries & cities have made with #pedestrianisation: UK infrastructure is too small & compact for obsessing over motorised-vehicles: we grow legs 🚶♂️🚶♀️ before we by powered-wheels 🚗 🚙

Oxford Street's busiest mile is going car-free! 🎉 More pedestrian space means cleaner air & a better shopping experience for everyone, from flagship stores to high street favourites. #OxfordStreet #Pedestrianisation #London #CleanAir
The latest version, as seen on the maps for the consultation on #pedestrianisation of #OxfordStreet, has a narrower strip down each side of the main shopping drag. Instead of including a whole social housing estate, it splits it in half. Why does Khan want planning change of use power over housing?
‘the majority of households in Westminster don’t own a car, a quarter of all land in the borough is used for roads – more than is reserved for green space and double the amount used for housing’

also: good call re #pedestrianisation. If #Ikea ever wanted to do a flagship store in #Oxford, there is the Debenhams building still vacant ...
@zoegarbett.bsky.social #Pedestrianisation #OxfordStreet cont. Mayor Khan's MDC gives him overkill powers, over planning conditions, change of use. Licensing powers ditto. To turn Oxford St. into #24-hourCity ? Not green, not sustainable. Residents need 8-hour sleep else health is damaged.
2/2 It's something I previously chatted to Mayor Anne Hildago in Paris, they just held a referendum where voters were in favour of pedestrianising Paris more. We need to do the same!
And let's build the damn Metro!

Paris just got a whole lot more walkable! 🚶♀️ 500 more streets are going car-free, making the City of Lights even more enchanting. #Paris #Pedestrianisation #GoodNews #CityLife

The best way to transform #Barnstaple, #North_and_WestDevon's principal economic\hospitality hub, is full #pedestrianisation of the town's historic #HighStreet. Why is #DevonCountyCouncil holding back such a simple, environmentally responsible move? 🤔

What happens when you remove cars from small-city centers... footfall.

Good to see #NorthDevon MP @ianroome.bsky.social in HoC 2day 4 discussion of #CANIL. He understands the need 4 improved #ActiveTravel across his constituency so trust he'll support full #pedestrianisation of #Barnstaple #HighStreet
