Abandon their plans or thoughts of introducing a Bus Gate on Shoppenhangers Road

We the undersigned petition the Royal Borough of Windsor & Maidenhead to abandon their plans or thoughts of introducing a Bus Gate on Shoppenhangers Road.

We the undersigned are alarmed, and urge RBWM to abandon their proposals to introduce a Bus Gate at Shoppenhangers Road.
We are unclear what the alleged safety issues are that justifies such costly, indulgent and disruptive proposal, and what the supposed pedestrian aspect benefits are. Apart from pupils traffic from Desborough College of short durations, the footfall here is negligible.
Shoppenhangers Road is a major arterial route that feeds M4 / A404 traffic into Town. It would be madness to replace it with a narrower twisted and dangerous route, notwithstanding the Borough’s plan for further housing development there.
The proposal will have an adverse impact on the Environment due to increased vehicular travel distances to Town. It further introduces even greater safety risks on Harvest Hill Road and Manor Lane to motorists, cyclists, runners and walkers who use them for access to Braywick Park, particularly at the twisted and narrow sections of these roads that have no side pavements
