It voted in support of the third lane along with other local authorities at a meeting yesterday.
The lane would be for southbound traffic from Tram Rd to Q-E-2 Drive, and the council said it would be for buses and cars with more than one person.
A separate cycle lane was also part of the proposal.
The Transport Agency will consider the proposal in June.
