We partly object to this paragraph because it suggests locating the long-stay cycle parking within the car parks. Unfortunately the location of and access to the car parks makes this a difficult and awkward option that won't work. Our recommendation is to use some space within or among the shops, much like the Grand Arcade does. We also recommend that inclusive cycle parking requirements be added to the SPD: cycle parking for cargo cycles and adapted cycles for persons with disabilities. This would be for both long stay and short stay.

We support good cycle parking provision for residential elements. We recommend our guide that is available online: www.camcycle.org.uk/resources/cycleparking/guide/

We support the principle of finding a way to have a safe and inclusive cycle route on Fitzroy and Burleigh Streets. We are puzzled why this is referred to as a 'contraflow cycle lane' because that presumes a certain type of infrastructure. We believe it would be best if this was left as 'Provision for a bidirectional cycle route on Fitzroy Street throughout the day'.

East Road most certainly could look a lot better. Especially with a protected cycleway having trees and verges between motor traffic and people.

We object only because we would like to see another key principle added, which is to support safe and inclusive cycling with protected facilities for cycling separate from motor traffic and separate from footways, using modern Dutch-style standards.

We would support a careful approach to designing a safe and inclusive cycle route for Fitzroy and Burleigh Streets, with clearly defined area for cycling that is separate from dedicated footways. The design must be legible for partially sighted persons and accessible for people using mobility aids.

We are concerned about the safety hazards of adding even more motor vehicles to these streets.

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. This whole concept for Burleigh Street does not work and needs to be completely rethought.

The proposed 5 metre kerb-separated carriageway for Fitzroy Street would dominate too much of what is supposed to be a street with pedestrian priority. We do want to see an all-day safe and inclusive cycle route but it should be achieved in a more sensitive and integrated manner that retains the pedestrianised character of the street.
