Planning, innit? For example, the docking point at the top of Bolsover St W1 made it necessary to change the road from two-way to one-way traffic. Imagine the time it takes to get all interested parties on board with such a change, as well as calculating the knock-on effects on traffic flows, risk assessments etc. ad nauseam. Even if nobody raises strong objections, it's easy to see how that could take 12 months from a cold start to a decision to go ahead, followed by several months of construction. Now try to do that for hundreds of locations, and get them all to fruition, including going back to square one when what looked like a good location proves impossible.
