These need to come up from the streets
What does this even mean? People have such Stockholm Syndrome to traffic that they can’t even visualise what something different would look like unless you make it happen in front of them.
I’m extremely happy with the way my local council has done things lately - stick thing in on a minimal notice ETO and let the haters burn through their energy long before the consultation rolls around a year later.
Is there an example of a filtering scheme in London where the pre-consultation has been anything other than a pointless shouting match?

My mistake, I assumed they were doing them like in other boroughs. Still, it doesn't sound as if it's been a successful process so far. The current proposals are just terrible.
These need to come up from the streets. There need to be engagement exercises, local knowledge fed in, and proposals refined before anything goes out to consultation.
