Representation Summary:

The numbers do not add up on this diagram. It claims the carriageway is 3.4 metres, but somehow is composed of a 2m cycle lane and a 3m service lane. In fact Burleigh Street is only 10.7 metres wide so there is clearly insufficient room to have a 5 metre carriageway in the centre while still maintaining the street as a pedestrianised centre. This whole concept for Burleigh Street does not work and needs to be completely rethought.
Your numbers don't add up. 2 + 3 = 5, not 3.4
There's not enough space on Burleigh Street for all these elements. It would completely lose its pedestrianised character. Back to the drawing board on this one.

Representation Summary:

Not sure the numbers on this diagram add up. Please redraw it having done more design work. It's a nice idea but not workable as per that diagram.

Representation Summary:

I do want the cycle route, which is important to provide.

However, the numbers don't add up, and the proportion allocated to pedestrian space is too low - 5m is not proportionate use of the space, which should remain predominately pedestrian-orientated in character but still allow cycling.

Representation Summary:

We strongly support a carefully-designed safe and inclusive cycle route. However, the numbers do not add up on this diagram. It claims the carriageway is 3.4 metres, but somehow is composed of a 2m cycle lane and a 3m service lane. In fact Burleigh Street is only 10.7 metres wide so there is clearly insufficient room to have a 5 metre carriageway in the centre while still maintaining the street as a pedestrianised centre.
