My understanding — correct me if I'm am wrong — is that the necessary wider pavement was rejected by @Edinburgh_CC in the Princes St & Waverley Valley Strategy (below). 3/

Separated 🚲 lanes (& more 🚶space) could still happen

👍 Amendment passed, voting 7-4

👍 Fantastic news! Transport & wider considerations must now be incorporated in the strategy

This might not have happened without long-term effort/persistence by Spokes & the visionary/technical expertise of Richard Murphy architects

Cllr @davidfkey.bsky.social supports Spokes submission, New Town Comm Council and #RichardMurphy ideas - these all fit #PrincesStreet best

Cllr @alexstaniforth.bsky.social jokes that #LibDem amendment better than Greens, so Greens will support it.

Cllr @kevin-lang.bsky.social moves #LibDem amendment

The proposal is 'tinkering,' doesn't fit Princes Street and what it should be

Cllr #HalOsler seconds. Need more ambitious strategy

#PrincesStreet #Edinwebcast

Q: Cllr @davidfkey.bsky.social asks if the right question was asked re segregated bike lanes
A: Cycle lane on pavement was not wanted

[Spokes note: the QA only asked re bike lanes in the footway, not in the carriageway, hence negative public response!]

A: Public response to consultn v positive. Some traffic measures under Future STreets policy. More in future
