The bus lane works well during the morning and evening rush
hours and outside of these times provides parking for people
visiting many local businesses on the road.
If the bus lane becomes 7am to 7pm local businesses will suffer
from reduced footfall. People will be more likely to go to st
James's retail park which is already very congested or meadowhall
causing longer journeries and more poltution.
A further consiquence of longer bus lane times on Abbeydale Road is
that people will park on side streets which will mean local
residents will not be able to park near their home during these
times.
The potential gains from longer bus lane operation are very slight,
the potential losses for businesses already hammered by Covid are
significant.
