A: The council seeks better connectivity, legibility, quality, usability and capacity in public transport. Therefore development should help to support the:
- investment in strategic transport infrastructure including the Elizabeth Line and Crossrail 2, HS2, mainline termini and key underground stations;
- streamlining of bus services and the relocation of standing facilities to less intensively used areas of the city;
- management of coach routes stops and stands whose use may be intensified subsequent to the relocation or redevelopment of Victoria Coach Station
B: Development must improve the accessibility to, and legibility of existing and proposed public transport by creating and improving walking and cycling links to stops or stations.
C: Major development must:
- facilitate improvements to the operation of all sustainable transport modes through improvements to the public realm;
- support car clubs, cycle hire facilities and other sustainable transport initiatives such as electric vehicle charging infrastructure where they do not detrimentally impact upon public realm improvements and pocket parks; and
- improve access to public transport facilities by promoting walking and cycling and through their design improve the legibility of transport nodes and interchanges.
