Not only that one of the cyclists had no lights or hi-vis gear on. Surely as an employer you should provide your cyclists with adequate lights and high visibility jackets. The cyclist with no lights also just about got hit by a motorist turning right. If he had lights, he might have been spotted. Your moped riders are bad enough, never mind #Suicidal cyclists too!!! </p> <p>Thoughts? </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=16209#post-215209 Fri, 25 Mar 2016 12:12:01 +0000 chdot 215209@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>This could have gone in the "tram latest" thread but that would be the wrong place - in spite of the headline!</p> <p><a href="http://www.edinburghnews.scotsman.com/news/fears-edinburgh-bus-fare-rise-to-fund-tram-extension-1-4082100" rel="nofollow">http://www.edinburghnews.scotsman.com/news/fears-edinburgh-bus-fare-rise-to-fund-tram-extension-1-4082100</a></p> <p>"</p> <p>Bus stops in Princes Street will be reshuffled with the aim of reducing delays and speeding up journey times.</p> <p>" </p> <p>(And other things.) </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=21931#post-384208 Tue, 12 May 2026 11:02:13 +0000 chdot 384208@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p><a href="https://www.edinburgh.gov.uk/elections-voting/upcoming-elections" rel="nofollow">https://www.edinburgh.gov.uk/elections-voting/upcoming-elections</a></p> <p>(Nothing to see here - yet)</p> <p>Ok, early, only just had SP election</p> <p>Not had PoP</p> <p>And TODAY another meeting about Greenbank to Meadows Quiet Route</p> <p>BUT (and because of ‘recent’ events, general politics etc)</p> <p>Needs thinking about</p> <p>Seems recently elected MSPs will not be resigning as CEC Cllrs, so no imminent byelections </p> <p>Obviously Spokes will be on the case and will prepare a good policies doc/wishlists etc</p> <p>But, of course “Spokes” is just People/volunteers</p> <p>So more thinking the better</p> <p>Ideas for policies, (actually no, CEC has too many…), implementation (or lack of), missing links, poor surfacing/maintenance etc.</p> <p>‘We’ have done wishlists in the past, mostly for Transport convenors, but a ward by ward list would be useful </p> <p>Nearly a year to jot down things and combine them all at a later date…</p> <p>Obviously not just about ‘cycling’ - pavements, crossing times, more accesses to path networks, ramps as well as steps, more benches etc are important in a city that (allegedly) wants to increase walking and cycling and discourage car use </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=21898#post-383399 Wed, 11 Mar 2026 09:29:49 +0000 chdot 383399@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>There are CCE threads on GSt &amp; PSt. </p> <p>Now there seems to be the need for an ‘all embracing one’…</p> <p>“</p> <p>Transport and environment convener Stephen Jenkinson said he had now asked officials to come up with a new strategy, embracing Princes Street, George Street, the "cross streets" running between them, and St Andrew Square and Charlotte Square.</p> <p>He said: "All the projects are linked.

While there may be a general model in most cases, recognising their unique status and needs, our proposition is that this would sit alongside bespoke solutions for island communities.</p> <p>Community authorities would sit within the borders of regional authorities, with the aim that community authorities would see ‘burgh/county/town/district/island’ authorities based on identifiable communities. For example, this could include areas such as Kilmarnock in Ayrshire, or Leith in Edinburgh, or Blairgowrie and Rattray in Perthshire, it could be townships, villages or islands. </p> <p>We would propose that councillors would continue to be elected at the current ward level, sitting on both the community authority and on the associated regional authority. This would improve local decision-making and enable greater strategic working, without the necessity of a further layer of elections or creating additional tiers of bureaucracy. The same overall regional administrative or corporate structures would support both regional and community authorities. The aim is to have greater subsidiarity with more local decision making but supported by the efficiency of delivery by regional structures. </p> <p>“</p> <p><a href="https://www.gov.scot/publications/public-sector-reform-proposal/#page-top" rel="nofollow">https://www.gov.scot/publications/public-sector-reform-proposal/#page-top</a></p> <p>This is going to be a fun <em>consultation</em>… </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=20750#post-355270 Sat, 02 Oct 2021 09:58:35 +0000 Stickman 355270@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Probably worth starting a thread on this.</p> <p><a href="https://www.edinburghnews.scotsman.com/news/politics/council/six-long-serving-edinburgh-labour-councillors-will-not-seek-re-election-next-year-3403852" rel="nofollow">https://www.edinburghnews.scotsman.com/news/politics/council/six-long-serving-edinburgh-labour-councillors-will-not-seek-re-election-next-year-3403852</a></p> <p><blockquote> Former Lord Provost Donald Wilson, education convener Ian Perry, planning vice-convener Maureen Child and Ricky Henderson, who chairs the Integration Joint Board overseeing health and social care, have all decided not to seek re-election next May, along with transport vice-convener Karen Doran and outspoken backbencher Gordon Munro.</blockquote> </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=22006#post-385911 Mon, 21 Sep 2026 08:17:37 +0000 chdot 385911@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>“<br /> Extreme weather makes The Bike Station’s mission even more important- support us to get more people using sustainable and joyful transport. </p> <p>“</p> <p><a href="https://www.crowdfunder.co.uk/p/keep-us-rolling-141" rel="nofollow">https://www.crowdfunder.co.uk/p/keep-us-rolling-141</a> </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=20966#post-360968 Sun, 29 May 2022 20:56:51 +0000 chdot 360968@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Well <strong>I</strong> think we need a separate thread </p> <p>The <a href="http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/search.php?search=Scott+Arthur+&amp;advanced=0&amp;exact=1&amp;posts=1&amp;highlight=1&amp;users=0&amp;located=0&amp;forums%5B%5D=0&amp;maxcount=9999999&amp;age=999999&amp;direction=0&amp;sort=date&amp;order=0">past</a></p> <p>The future, mostly unwritten of course. </p> <p>Cllr/Dr. A manages to create scepticism about what he means/says </p> <p>Says a lot of ‘the right things’ then <strike>contradicts</strike> nuances. </p> <p>As mentioned on the election thread, the good/bad news is only intends to be transport chair for three months </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=10956#post-122537 Wed, 21 Aug 2013 15:37:07 +0000 Wilmington's Cow 122537@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I went to Summerhall after work last night for a bit of performance art (Freeze! is pretty good - strays towards some artistic pretension occasionally, but manages to drag it back with a bit of humour every now and then, and what he can do with gravity when balancing rocks is stunning.
