Correct. This cycle lane was approved by Hounslow Cabinet on 3rd September 2019. The purpose of this consultation is not to determine whether or not there should be a cycle lane. That has already been decided. There will be one running from Hounslow to Olympia. The purpose is to gather feedback on the design from users and residents. Most people who don't like cycle lanes will indeed be wasting their breath by writing all the same old complaints in their consultation form about how they cause congestion, increase pollution, discriminate against the elderly and disabled and the plumbers, delay emergency vehicles, delay buses, are socially unjust, pander to the minority, are not compulsory, are empty all the time, are the brainchild of deluded woke activists who don't understand that British people WILL NOT cycle, that cyclists don't pay road tax, that cyclists should be registered and wear number plates on tabards, that cyclists don't shop, wear lycra, can't fit baguettes in their budgie smugglers, that electric cars will save the planet, that children shouldn't cycle, that cycle lanes give cyclists a false sense of security etc. etc. etc. The obvious futility of it won't stop the Brian Pedestals of Isleworth, Ealing and Chiswick though:https://www.thenewselephant.co.uk/man-to-spend-entire-weekend-moaning-about-bike-lanes
