(c) formalise various amendments to waiting and loading restrictions and kerb-side parking provisions as set out in the Schedule to this Notice.
3. Please note that, as part of the public realm improvements, it is proposed to make permanent the following measures that were also introduced as a temporary response to the pandemic in 2020:
(a) the current on-street locations and extents of the bus stop clearways in Regent Street; and
(b) the lengths of mandatory and advisory with-flow cycle lanes:
(i) on both sides of Langham Place, between Langham Street and Cavendish Place / Mortimer Street; and
(ii) at various locations on both sides of Regent Street, between Cavendish Place / Mortimer Street and Piccadilly Circus.
