This also shocked and appalled me, but upon closer inspection it just looks like an Inch's

We were also promised an extension of the 3/3A to Oxford station (maybe this relates to your last bullet)

It's great that it has been repaired, but it feels like a missed opportunity to widen at least part of it so that there's more space for the huge volume of walkers, cyclists and runners.

It's unlike Network Rail to handle this project so sloppily...

Isn't the design of the station out to tender (by Oxford city council)? Who can commit to building an unknown design for a fixed price?

Thanks for trying!
I don't understand their logic though. The light waits for a gap that never comes on a busy road, so it defaults to the timer. The disruption to the flow of traffic will happen regardless whether it waits 3 seconds or 30.

I'm sure you'll manage, like everyone else who travels with suitcases, pushchairs, or bikes. You'll see plenty on Sunday.

A little defensive. Realistically the county council isn't going to give exemptions on a club-by-club basis. The alternative is either pay the congestion charge or find an alternative. Good luck with either.

1) The ice rink would be the obvious choice, but I suppose that means the city council paying for county council policies
2) The congestion charge is doing the persuading here. Nobody is forced to use the hangars.
Interesting problem. IMO there are already too many exemptions.

Could repurpose a few of the now unnecessary car parking spaces for a couple of hangars/sheds

Wouldn't a simpler solution be to provide secure storage at the rink? I doubt these kids have much use for ice hockey equipment at home.

Interested to hear others extra proposals for reducing congestion! I suggested:
- quicker zebra crossing waits
- pavement parking ban
- Dutch kerbs
- more camera points
- widen pavements & Thames path
- improved bus routes

Great to hear, that causeway is an accident waiting to happen. What a wonderful initiative!

Very interesting. Will the bike bus travel on the road or the raised path?

It's mad that for the vast majority of the time, Oxford has been run by rural Conservatives.
That said, I don't see central government going for Greater Oxford + rural Oxfordshire over a whole Oxfordshire. Do you think it's likely?

Please propose something similar for Oxford! I asked my local (green) councillor to consider it and was blanked 😑

What legitimate business would choose to open on Cornmarket Street over any surrounding street? There's a critical mass of tourist tat and American candy money laundering
