London Mayor Sadiq Khan has revived plans to pedestrianise Oxford Street, a move aimed at improving the experience for the 200 million annual visitors and revitalizing the area amid declining retail performance. The proposed changes would ban traffic between Oxford Circus and Marble Arch, with discussions about extending the restrictions further. While many shoppers and visitors support the pedestrianisation for environmental and health benefits, businesses express concerns about the impact on accessibility and foot traffic. Westminster Council, which opposes the plan, fears it could lead to increased noise and traffic displacement to residential areas. The project is estimated to cost £150 million, with funding expected to come from local businesses and private investors. Khan's vision includes enhancing public space with greenery and amenities, while ensuring access for disabled individuals, although specific plans are yet to be finalized.
