A man has been arrested and remains in custody on suspicion of causing injuries by careless driving after a van struck a cyclist in New Oxford Street at 10:59am on Saturday, April 12.
"If this closure goes into effect, the majority of the residents and businesses on this block will have their lives disrupted as cars, cabs and ambulances will not be able to get through," said Marie Stareck, a senior on the block. "The Open Streets program benefits the privileged few and hurts tax-paying citizens."
