Views are being sought on proposals for a new cycle route that would take riders right past where the Queen lives.

Consultation has opened on plans for a two-way segregated cycle track in Spur Road, in front of the Queen Victoria Memorial at Buckingham Palace.

It would provide a safer route for cyclists through one of central London’s most intimidating junctions, which is one of 33 in the capital designated for improvements.

Transport for London says specially-designed bollards “in keeping with the road’s heritage and character” would be used to segregate cyclists from other traffic.

The bollards would be removable for ceremonial occasions taking place roughly once a month when diversions would be put in place.

Blue paint would not be used on the road surface by Buckingham Palace.

Proposals also include improved pedestrian crossings and almost 900 square metres of new footway to accommodate crowds attending Changing of the Guard.

Existing cyclist and pedestrian tracks in Constitution Hill would be separated.

A “buffer” between St James’s Park and Green Park and the noise and fumes of vehicles would be created to improve the experience for park users.

The plans form the last remaining central London section of the new east-west cycle superhighway that is gradually coming together.

In central London there will be continuous segregated cycling from Tower Hill through Parliament Square to Hyde Park Corner and Lancaster Gate.

Overall the superhighway will cover 18 miles from Barking to Acton.

Mayor of London Boris Johnson said: “This is the final jigsaw piece in what will be one of the world’s great cycling routes.

“The new east-west superhighway will be a treasured part of our new network, running through the heart of the capital and past the front door of some of our most loved landmarks such as the Houses of Parliament and Buckingham Palace.”

Leon Daniels, managing director of surface transport at TfL, said: “Once completed, the new east-west cycle superhighway will become one of the world’s most iconic cycling routes with this proposed section in front of Buckingham Palace no doubt becoming a postcard icon of the future.

“We look forward to hearing people's thoughts on these proposals and, if approved, will work to deliver them as quickly as possible.”

Consultation on the Spur Road proposals runs until October 4.

If they go ahead, the changes would be implemented initially for a year-long trial at the same time as the rest of the superhighway opens in summer 2016.
