I attended a briefing on the Olympics a few days ago. Staging such a huge event is pretty daunting, and it looks like the funding we have is inadequate, but there you go. We will need to find resources to cover all the licensing, trading standards, health and safety concerns, security, street cleaning, and of course the transport.
There will be a number of dedicated routes around London. For us, that means closing one of the lanes of the North Circular for Olympic use only, which is bound to cause massive traffic diversion. Handling all this will be an enormous challenge.
