Plans are in place to pedestrianise Regent Street St James's, enhancing public space at Piccadilly Circus and introducing safer cycling routes. The proposals align with the Mayor's plan to pedestrianize Oxford Street. Key features include improved pedestrian crossings, removal of the central island, and greening of Regent Street. City officials highlight the need for community engagement in the planning process. The redevelopment reflects an ambition to connect St James's Park to Regent's Park while making the area more accessible and inviting for residents and visitors.
Geoff Barraclough emphasized that the plans would create 'a new network of public spaces'. He noted that this represents a unique chance to reimagine the West End, making it greener and more welcoming.
Kristy Lansdown stated that the plans would ensure the area remains 'fit for the future', emphasizing the importance of adapting urban spaces to meet evolving needs.
