Glasgow making amazing progress, while Edinburgh dilly dallies

What is the point? Instead of buses being blocked by traffic, they will now be blocked by parked vans. This is a badly designed trial that will prove nothing.

Halvemaansteeg, Amsterdam in 1979 and today. Today, a cycle only street crossing a tram only street.

📢Today Google has added motor fuel prices to the maps app so you can see how expensive driving is. 🚲Not wanting to be left out we have been around the city to check on the cost of fuelling a cycle and produced our own map. 🎉It's good news - fuelling a cycle is still free everywhere.

Sure, these things cost money which is very limited. But so long as the council keeps finding it to: 🅰️ do stupid active transport stuff that's of marginal-to-zero benefit 🅱️ prioritise removing stuff already in the ground to placate segments of electorate Then it's a deliberate choice.

That “small section” of cycle path is the only safe North South corridor in the whole of Edinburgh Many of our pupils use it access friends, family, and after-school activities. Building their confidence & independence Take it out, and they will end up being driven instead

£2.9 billion versus £2.5 billion is not 3 times

It’s worth looking into attempts at bus rapid transit and guided busways to understand. One question would be is there a legal mechanism for banning / towing parking blocking busway in the same way legislation exists for doing this adjacent to tram lines. Because someone _will_ flout rules.

Always odd that we couldn't possibly put a bike lane in here because of traffic, but a car parked in the turning lane, which completely fucks the traffic flow, is just an understandable rule-bend.

“No feasible alternatives” - only if you never want to take space from cars Trams are road-going vehicles

And in return, we ask, “What’s your feasible alternative for families to cycle safely North South across the city, both during years of tram construction, and after?” Bearing in mind that single tracking isn’t guaranteed
