Cars could still get in to Buccleuch place, they just wouldn't be able to drive through from, Say, Bristo Place to Hope Park Terrace and beyond. There seems to me to be plenty of alternative routes for through traffic. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=14530#post-183404 Mon, 16 Mar 2015 16:09:59 +0000 PS 183404@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Do you really need buses on it? Clerk Street runs parallel and seems near enough, especially with the cut through to St Patrick Square. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=14530#post-183403 Mon, 16 Mar 2015 16:00:23 +0000 gembo 183403@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>how would cars access the parking on Buccleuch Place, might turn George Sq into a rat run?</p> <p>I was describing Dean Jonathan Swift's Modest Proposal to some folk the other night. It still has the power to shock </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=14530#post-183401 Mon, 16 Mar 2015 15:53:19 +0000 chdot 183401@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>AND Melville Drive between Argyle Pl and Marchmont Rd. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=14530#post-183400 Mon, 16 Mar 2015 15:51:51 +0000 chdot 183400@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>As long as it's the same for Causewayside etc. too! </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=14530#post-183399 Mon, 16 Mar 2015 15:44:50 +0000 paulmilne 183399@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>This house thinks that blocking Buccleuch Street to through traffic (excepting buses and bikes) would make the "University Precinct" a pleasant and more attractive place for people on bikes and walking, and increase footfall for almost all businesses on this corridor, where parking is mostly banned anyway.</p> <p>At, say, Gifford Park or Chapel Street. </p>
