Headington's subway (underpass)

I use the subway when shepherding small people, who are always excited by the
prospect of going through it.
It's particularly helpful as we normally don't have enough time to cross two
roads in the alloted pedestrian filter time (so we can't get from Budgens to
Chancellors), so we use the subway to cross London Road and the lights to cross
Windmill Rd or Old High St.
However, it's utility is seriously in question when it's so close to the
lights. What might be helpful for it's survival is that the retiming of the
lights does appear to have had a impact on the queues heading towards the
ring-road so the widening might be less of a necessity.

(there's also the matter of the trees that would have to come down, but I fear
to raise that here)
