I am once again asking/begging cultural, heritage and environmental groups in Edinburgh to stop using Gen AI images of a city that has been photographed from nearly every conceivable angle and for which a vast portfolio rights-free images already exist to use if you don't have a budget to pay

Fabulous work! Thanks so much for progressing. ❤️

As the development on the former Booker site progresses, work on the new bridge crossing also progresses. Currently CEC are approaching suppliers for the design stage of the bridge with the hope to work quickly on this. A stakeholder meeting & site visit are being organised in the next few weeks.

The outcome of the vote did not impact the reopening of Braid Road because nobody (including you) brought an amendment to delete the officer recommendation. Please stop gaslighting and show some humility. Much of the wider scheme has been ripped out on the back of your bad faith approach.

And the papers are here

I know which vote you mean because you've been strangely obsessed with it for years. The officer recommendation on Braid Road was not removed in any of the amendments, so the division was not relevant to the reopening. The item is here around the 4 hour mark.

He means the August 2022 vote

I don't think "it was the SNP/Greens who won the vote to reopen it. I think it was one of the few votes I lost" is an accurate description of the relevant vote!

What happens when you create a high-traffic neighbourhood by removing the modal filters on the Braid Estate… SUVs end up on their side Junction of Braid Rd and Hermitage Dr. Around school pick up time, Thursday 1st Oct

Phase 2 includes a full resurfacing of the roundabout at Stevenson Road, with *no road safety measures* included. We're still 2 months away from this phase, so I'd welcome views on active travel needs at this location. It may be too late, but I am sharing these with the project manager.

As much as I welcome these changes, I'm annoyed that details have come forward so close to implementation. Road safety outside Balgreen Primary School needs far more attention, and this was a missed opportunity to engage with the school community on the changes they need to see.

Phase 1 includes an upgrade of the junction at Stevenson Drive, with the existing 2-stage crossing converted into a single-stage crossing with an "all-green" phase for pedestrians. The pavement in front of Balgreen Primary School and Library will be resurfaced, and the guardrails will be replaced.

Credit to the Scottish Government for grasping the need to reform local government, but the starting point they published today leaves me with some major worries 🧵
