...................poll reveals, as Londoners back cycle superhighway scheme.
Giving up more road space for cyclists in London
"Londoners strongly support Boris Johnson’s plan to remove central London road space from motorists to create safe routes for cyclists, a poll reveals today.
A YouGov poll found 64 per cent support for the Mayor’s 14-mile “Crossrail for bikes” £48 million project that will take up one of four lanes on the Victoria Embankment, with 24 per cent opposed and the remainder undecided.
There was two-to-one backing for segregated cycle routes even if they resulted in longer journey times for motorists, with 51 per cent in favour and 26 per cent against.
The findings came as more than 100 major employers gave their public backing to the proposals. Land Securities - the UK’s largest commercial property company - and the Royal Opera House joined supporters including RBS, the Crown Estate and Barts Health NHS trust.
The poll of 1,002 Londoners was commissioned by CyclingWorks.London, a group co-ordinating business responses to the new superhighways. Polling was carried out between October 8 and 13."
