The current consultation on detailed project proposals closes on 12 January . The Council’s Active Travel programme has the immense challenge of making ‘room for all’ across the city’s roadways, cycleways and footpaths. The quandary invites pressures for ‘elbow room’. You will be interested in the 29 December release by Living Streets Edinburgh (LSE) of its response to the proposals for the Dundee Street Fountainbridge cycleway connection. The LSE report illustrates the inherent conflicts in many aspects of urban transport design. It shows how such tensions can spill into confected mobility ‘solutions’ which in some cases undermine agreed core principles (e.g. on pavement width) and in other cases reveal the worst of all worlds in the shape of ‘floating bus stops’.
