""Bike is Best submitted a freedom of information request to ask how the council had formally assessed the success or otherwise of the Kensington High Street scheme. The council responded: “No criteria or metrics were developed by which the scheme was to be assessed.”
"Since the decision we have received a letter signed by 25 residents’ associations, which represent 3,400 households, welcoming the decision to remove the lanes. We have had over 1,300 emails from residents and 85% were against the cycle lane.”
This updated total of 1,300 residents represents 0.8% of the borough’s population"
Says it all.

Who would have guessed? Travel times go up for cars when you remove a bike lane that serves 4000 people per day
