I would be grateful if you could provide me with a list of all floating bus stops (also know as bus stop bypasses, shared use bus boarders (also called Copenhagen bus stops) or any variant on these bus stops designs which expect bus passengers to cross or step into a cycle lane to get on and off a bus in a table for all roads in the County Council boundaries please, with the following information:
– Location, type of bus stop
– If any of the bus stops have been removed, with the location of where they were installed.
– Any new ones that are being planned for and their locations please
We do not hold a central register of this information and we would therefore have to manually review the details of 6,000 bus stops in Devon. Having completed a brief trial, we can confirm that this would take approximately 32 stops per hour and therefore over 187 hours would be required to complete this task.
This is in excess of the appropriate time limit of 18 hours and we are therefore not obliged to provide this information pursuant to section 12 of the Freedom of Information Act 2000. Under the Act, there is a duty to provide advice and assistance as to how a request can be refined to fit within the appropriate limit. Unfortunately, this is not possible for this request.
