It is hoped these measures will stabilise or reduce car traffic and reduce congestion. Is that the best you can do - hope? It is a measure of the clueless and incompetent approach that has been adopted throughout Cambridge that indicates the traffic congestion and pollution will continue.

Having looked at your proposals I can say that they are probably the least you could do. Another opportunity missed and of course, the money spent without achieving what could have been achieved with some design flair.

Bearing in mind that cars already park in the bus lane, how do you propose to prevent that happening on both sides of the road? Don't say enforcement, because we all know that doesn't happen now and that won't change. Once again you are about to design in mistakes that the public will have to live with for decades.

I believe you have been given ideas that are far superior to what you are proposing, and without taking advice from highly qualified professionals in the vicinity you plough on to produce a 1970s solution.

It is hoped these measures will stabilise or reduce car traffic and reduce congestion. Is that the best you can do - hope? It is a measure of the clueless and incompetent approach that has been adopted throughout Cambridge that indicates the traffic congestion and pollution will continue.
