It highlights how providing for cycling is still an optional extra among certain councils.
Kensington think they're doing the minimum as long as they are providing flat tarmac suitable to drive on is built and maintained.
I can only imagine there are a set of legal requirements on road planning that account for most of not all of what motor vehicle operators want. What people on bike want is an addition to any such process. So there goes your oversight and project control.

I wonder if this will lead to anything positive - i.e. infrastructure. The knee jerk reaction to want to remove the lane didn't surprise me, but what did surprise me was the lack of any project objectives / outcomes / criteria / monitoring and evaluation. Setting up some criteria to evaluate your first segregated cycle infrastructure in a politically sensitive environment would have been sensible. Lets see how this plays out.
