Removing heavy through traffic from Cowgate & other key cross city-centre streets (Bridges, George IV & the Royal Mile) is the key move in Edinburgh's city centre Circulation Plan Saturday's horrific events underline how urgent it is the CP is implemented ASAP 💔 @cllr_jenkinson

He says Edinburgh is congested, he should know given he and McInnes before him allowed car hating Sustrans Marxists to capture transport policy, we are all suffering as a result of his failure to accept the air in Edinburgh is perfectly fine and that car use is normal behaviour.

Key metric there is how close the bus gate gets to bringing overall traffic levels below 2000pcu & how well the street's *design* itself limits actual speeds to below 20mph. If both of these are achieved it should be safe to take kids on.

The word 'transformational' is often bandied about glibly in the built environment, but the CPs recommendation for the city centre (option C) is the real deal. When Ghent implemented their CP in 2017 traffic volumes in the city centre decreased by 37% almost overnight.

4. Does the CP do *enough* to tackle the constant deluge of polluting, noisy traffic lazily & selfishly rat-running right through our city centre (including up/down/all over the Royal Mile itself)? 12/

Wanted to share this beautiful short documentary about the incredible wee neighbourhood bike shop recently discovered in the Jordaan in Amsterdam. An incredibly timely & welcome reminder that a sane, beautiful & humane world is perfectly possible. youtube.com/watch?v=jpyqvIzO…
