Edinburgh is going to do that I think.....</p> <p>So if Paris is the example to copy let's hope we do. There was a bizarre feature in the EEN the other night about the director of place not being able to sleep at night as he is worrying about people being shoved under buses..... </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=19278#post-295876 Fri, 16 Nov 2018 08:05:55 +0000 I were right about that saddle 295876@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Excellent! Shame the mayors on the left bank aren't playing along yet, but this is a powerful example that Edinburgh will struggle to ignore. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=19278#post-295875 Fri, 16 Nov 2018 01:31:47 +0000 gkgk 295875@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>IWRATS: The story today is mayor suggesting going to Saturdays too, and then on to 7-days in a few years.</p> <p><a href="https://www.cnews.fr/france/2018-11-14/le-centre-ville-de-paris-totalement-interdit-aux-voitures-800201" rel="nofollow">https://www.cnews.fr/france/2018-11-14/le-centre-ville-de-paris-totalement-interdit-aux-voitures-800201</a> </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=19278#post-295873 Thu, 15 Nov 2018 23:41:16 +0000 I were right about that saddle 295873@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>First Sunday of every month. Amusingly there's a grotesque mistake in the French. Can't get the staff these days I suppose.</p> <p><a href="https://www.paris.fr/actualites/le-centre-de-paris-sera-pieton-un-dimanche-par-mois-6098" rel="nofollow">https://www.paris.fr/actualites/le-centre-de-paris-sera-pieton-un-dimanche-par-mois-6098</a></p> <p>First cycling demo I ever went on demanded just this. There were fifty-odd of us. Mid nineties. Righteous we were. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=19278#post-295871 Thu, 15 Nov 2018 22:38:04 +0000 gkgk 295871@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Busy news day - Paris centre may be pedestrianising was the big story of the day for me. I think Edinburgh's (supposed) move away from private cars is driven almost entirely by keeping up with city planning fashions, so this is terrific. </p> <p>Interesting mention of electric ped zone shuttles. Something like the little xmas train tootling around pedestrianised Princes Street would be great, enormous improvement over current LRT Spartacus chariot races.</p> <p><a href="https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-46220346" rel="nofollow">https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-46220346</a> </p>
