A petition opposing the reopening of controversial bus lanes has been backed by hundreds.
The lanes in Woodford Avenue are set to be brought back into use on June 2.
The bus lanes were suspended by Transport for London (TfL) in June last year to consider changes to the original 24/7 operation, following residents voicing concerns over safety and traffic levels.
The lanes had been installed without public consultation in the hopes to improve the service on the 123, 679, 179 buses and Superloop SL2 route.
A new consultation has detailed plans to only operate the lanes between the hours of 7am and 10am and 4pm to 7pm on Mondays to Fridays.
Residents have been given the opportunity to respond before the consultation ends on March 13.
Subject to the outcome of the consultation, construction work will take place in May, including the installation of replacement signs to reflect the revised hours of operation.
TfL has claimed that it has "continued to monitor the traffic" in Woodford Avenue and has used traffic speed and collision data to inform the next stages of the reopening.
However, a change.org petition has been set up by seeking to "permanently remove" the bus lanes.
Objections include the lanes causing significant congestion on surrounding major roads and roundabouts.
The petition organisers also raised concerns about the impact on the safety of the road and on the community.
They claimed to have witnessed "near misses" when traffic has been turning left into Lord Avenue.
The petition has garnered more than 900 signatures since it was set up on February 23.

Helen Cansick, TfL’s head of healthy streets investment, said: “It’s vital that the transport network works for all, and we’re carefully considering feedback from local people when proposing these changes.
"Many people in Redbridge and the surrounding areas rely on the buses every day to access education and work.
“These proposed changes will ensure that buses continue to be an attractive and affordable option for everyone and enable even more people locally to benefit from a reliable bus network.”
