What's happening here? Maybe something changed part way through 2023 on urban/residential 30mph roads! I wonder if it could be that from Sep 17th 2023 95% of roads with a 30mph limit were changed to 20mph. #20splenty making your place an even better, safer, quieter, fairer place to be!

“Paris has embarked on a grand transformation, planting 155k trees, adding hundreds of kms of bike lanes, pedestrianising 300 school streets and banning cars from the banks of the Seine. Parking has been turned into green space…Fewer parents fear their child being run over when they walk to school.”

Thank you to everyone who got in touch about the frustrating closure of the vital bridge at St Mark's Park. This is a lifeline route for the community on both sides and has massive impacts on access to the park, walking, cycling, the school & local businesses 1/3

An insight into cycling trends - the introduction of Voi bikes has added about 500 additional cyclists per day to Leith Walk; the tram closure added another 250 at the peak. The Voi effect is much larger at the weekend, while the inverse is true for the tram.

There's something amazing about being in a peloton of 40+ bikes on the cycle lane heading home. Every driver at the front of a queue of side-street traffic... every person peering out of a bus window... every passer-by gets the message: "Oh wow, yeah, people are using this stuff". Never gets old.

1/ 🚧 St Mark’s Path bridge: still closed, still waiting for answers There was frustration at Monday night’s LCCC meeting about the continuing closure of the bridge. The concern is also the lack of clear information about what failed, options considered and speed of reopening

Already highly flawed - pavement and bike lane not very raised, no Dutch kerb on the exit, Edinburgh’s insistence of not using proper colour for bike lanes AND left turn into traffic lights you can’t see - this is now even worse.

The broken paving on the continuous footway at Dalmeny St / Leith Walk has been repaired with tarmac, undermining the whole design. It now looks like pedestrians and cyclists are crossing a road, rather than drivers crossing a continuous footway.

Thanks for the response Jack – would you be able to clarify what the remaining work actually covers?

Hear, hear! How long until the rest of the city gets access to this game-changing service @stephenjenkinson.bsky.social ??

Congrats Ben! Thoroughly well deserved 🏆

Hi @jackrmcaldwell.bsky.social – any update on the outstanding actions for Elm Row you mentioned a few months ago? Lots of the issues persist and work remains unfinished.
