🗺️ Here's our attempt at mapping out the changes 'out to tender' for St Andrew Square and St. David Street - including new protected cycleways linking CCWEL to the 'George Street to Waverley Bridge' cycling link 🖍️ Also at edi.bike/infrastructu...

Only one side of those deputations was backed by evidence The other side was the opinions of retirement-age white men

Good to see Cllr McInness point out that the city's overall active travel plan should not be determined by pockets of objectors in the wealthier parts of the city.

Green councillors have called for an urgent meeting of the Transport Committee to prevent these vital protections from being ripped out. I hope @stephenjenkinson.bsky.social agrees. app.edinburghnews.scotsman.com/story/854236...

Sorry, last line should have said Braid ROAD filter saved So.. 🙄Legally cllrs could not make the filters at BraidAv CanaanLane HermitageGdns permanent so they go for now 🤔It will go back to TEC Cttee but ☹️ 6+ month delay 👍But voted to keep Braid ROAD filter despite recommendn to remove @edi.bike

For 5 years the Greenbank to Meadows Quiet Route has been a safe route through residential streets and past several schools, but today the pro-car lobby groups might get their way to be able to rat-run through our streets again due to council errors. www.edinburghnews.scotsman.com/news/edinbur...

Low traffic streets: Five years, two censured councillors, and endless uncertainty www.edinburghinquirer.co.uk/p/low-traffi... Why is the local authority set to tear up traffic filters which councillors voted to keep?

🚨“Keep our kids safe!” rally 🚨 - Tuesday 12th May outside the City Chambers at 12:30pm to show the strength of community support for road safety measures More details & how you can help: blackfordsaferoutes.co.uk/keep-our-kid...

The TRO that will discuss remedying the Greenbank-Meadows quite route debacle is on Tuesday (12th) at 2pm. There will be a rally outside the City Chambers from 12:30pm to 2pm to show support. Everyone welcome! #Edinburgh #Cycling

Without a doubt, this MUST come back to the Transport Committee and not just be thrown away by TRO Sub. We cannot lose miles of safe route to paperwork incompetence. The south of the city has too little else for safe cycling.

⚠️ An updated report for TRO Sub-committee finds a THIRD erroneously worded filter to remove on on Canaan Lane: https://democracy.edinburgh.gov.uk/documents/s98371/4.1%20-%20Travelling%20Safely%20-%20Braid%20Road%20Comiston%20Road%20and%20Greenbank%20to%20Meadows%20Quiet%20Connection%20ETRO.pdf

As we say in Scotland, “a complete cluster burrach!” Anyone would think political parties would be careful, right in front of an election 🙄

We’re currently speechless about the likely loss of a safe route for kids in the Braid Estate When the affluent few can pay a lawyer to find the slightest discrepancy in the paperwork, to kill off a scheme put in place through community action, that is NOT DEMOCRACY!

You going to show some leadership, @stephenjenkinson.bsky.social, and fix this mess, or just follow your predecessor's example and happily wash your hands of it while blaming someone else.

💯 none of this HAS to happen. As you say the council can just fix the issue with the administrative documents. No document changes the actuality of the real world. @stephenjenkinson.bsky.social @cllrconorsavage.bsky.social can we fix this?

In any other sensible world, when a mistake is made in the paperwork, IT IS FIXED - not by changing the physical world to match the incorrect documents, but by updating the text. Only Edinburgh council could make such a mess of it

Are council officers capitulating to the interests of a minority group that didn't even bother to give deputation at Transport Committee, subverting a democratic decision? Because the minority group seem to think so. @stephenjenkinson.bsky.social @dastonsnp.bsky.social @chasbooth.bsky.social
