The proposals are open for public comment until 17 December, and they hope to take a decision in spring 2018.
At the moment buses and taxis use Oxford Street, but under the proposal, "Access by taxis, private hire vehicles and freight and servicing vehicles would all be restricted."
Mayor Sadiq Khan has said before that Oxford Street is the world's most polluted, but that only looking at levels of one pollutant.
Oxford Street records very high levels of Nitrogen Dioxide (NO2), a pollutant caused by diesel engines. It's one of the busiest thoroughfares for buses in the UK. Taking the buses and taxis away certainly will help reduce NO2, but the capital's efforts to introduce zero-emission taxis and buses would likely help in that regard, too.

"We genuinely believe these proposals respond positively to the concerns raised by some and would enable us to deliver a significantly improved Oxford Street and the wider Oxford Street area for everyone," claim Transport for London.
They further note, "Doing nothing to transform the Oxford Street district would mean that traffic and pedestrian congestion on Oxford Street and in the surrounding area would worsen."

Transport for London also aim to create a space for public art with the project, "In the coming months we will commission an artist to create an 800m-long piece of public art to be painted along the length of what would be the former carriageway."
