AN EDINBURGH group has criticised a new report which will be considered at a meeting this week regarding spending as part of the council’s City Mobility Plan. bit.ly/4kpIeTk

Fountainbridge pavement has been closed for nearly 10 months. Originally closed for 4 weeks, then 6, then this sign went up. Other pavement is less than 1m in places. Cycle lanes removed.

NTBCC along with @edinburghbug & Living Streets Edinburgh have submitted deputations to the Transport & Env. Committee (item 7.5 – City Mobility Plan – Capital Investment Programme Prioritisation Outputs) bit.ly/3SIQpym NTBCC deputation 👇

It was community led from the beginning - and they have been led up and down the garden path for over a decade. The council needs to honour its previous commitments if not to seriously erode trust in engaging with us. Let’s get on with delivery.

So frustrating to see this kind of thing ...all the time!😠

Congratulations to the Causey and thanks to TEC councillors! Let's see this "shovel ready" project, 18 years (!) in the making, implemented asap.🙂

We've no problem with these extended hours *so long as* there's enough pedestrian space. Please report problems - especially if there's less than 1.5m of clear pavement - to: [email protected]

Reminder: our public meeting is this Thursday evening! We’re also hoping to widen our group of active supporters. If you’re interested in helping us make Edinburgh better for everyday walking, get in touch: DM, email - or just have a chat with us at the meeting!🙂

It's maybe worth celebrating for a moment that fact that car-free (or 'car-lite') developments are increasingly common - not so long ago, The City of Edinburgh Council policies required *minimum* parking levels!

“There is no point putting any effort or expense into making bus stops or buses accessible to blind people if we cannot get to them.”

Final reminder - our public meeting is this evening at 6.30pm!

We're pleased to say that The City of Edinburgh Council engineers have nearly doubled the green man time here, following our representations!🙂

We had a lively public meeting and AGM last week, featuring disability advocates from Lothian CIL and Transport Convener Cllr Stephen Jenkinson. Read all about it (plus draft minutes) here: bit.ly/43L128S

There are some welcome proposals by The City of Edinburgh Council to improve streets around Curriehill, especially for travel to school: consultation open here: bit.ly/4kMIGeJ

It's disappointing that TEC didn't consider school travel, pedestrian crossings and pavement widening alongside budgets for active travel and public transport last month. An opportunity missed to target capital ££ where most needed.

New Corstorphine crossing now operational: council officials tell us it is working well and heavily used. Further feedback welcome (tag Edinburgh Council Help)
