Fitzroy St and Burleigh St are the 'backbone' of this plan. The Council should be aware of the very serious problem of air pollution we have and should be doing everything they can to reduce the sources that are causing it. Children and old people are at real risk in particular. To be even considering allowing motor vehicle access to a pedestrianized road shows a lack of concern for our need to reduce pollution which I find very worrying. If we allow taxis even (let alone the others that will follow inevitably - cars - lorries delivering) it's the thin end of the wedge. By all means build a cycle lane. Pedestrians have no protection at present as the police do nothing to stop illegal cycling (here and anywhere in town) so 'no cycling' notices are pure fantasy. Shops should have flats above. Developers should be obliged to have some proportion of 'affordable' i.e. council level rents.
