(or at St. Peter's?) </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=19937#post-317520 Mon, 11 Nov 2019 12:13:10 +0000 cb 317520@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Parking warden out this morning in Caanan Lane ticketing lots of cars. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=19937#post-317445 Fri, 08 Nov 2019 15:26:40 +0000 cb 317445@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>It was very pleasant a few weeks back when gas works closed Canaan Lane to through traffic for a few days.<br /> Lots of space for people to walk away from the narrow pavements.</p> <p>I don't really agree that it's carmageddon in the morning, but there's always several stopped on the road. I usually try to catch the driver's eye with a Paddington stare if possible. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=19937#post-317412 Fri, 08 Nov 2019 10:17:14 +0000 Morningsider 317412@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>The current Deanbank infants annex (which will become part of the new school) doesn't have any parking spaces or drop-off zone and it is carmageddon at the start of the school day. </p> <p>The vast majority of parents and children do walk/scoot/cycle. It's just a selfish few who abandon their cars anywhere on Canaan Lane, regardless of the problems/danger it causes others.</p> <p>I agree with Jonty that a few bollards closing off a section of Canaan Lane is the only real solution. The "school street" outside nearby St. Peters may as well not exist, given the amount of cars that travel through it - so that doesn't seem to be a workable solution. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=19937#post-317409 Fri, 08 Nov 2019 10:00:00 +0000 jonty 317409@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>They should close Canaan Lane at both ends to through traffic to make walking more pleasant. Would quieten down whole neighbourhood up to Cluny Drive. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=19937#post-317402 Fri, 08 Nov 2019 09:09:01 +0000 wingpig 317402@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>One of those wee scooter-mushrooms has twelve slots. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=19937#post-317398 Fri, 08 Nov 2019 08:17:36 +0000 gembo 317398@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>You don’t want massive parking for bikes or ends up parking for cars?</p> <p>The morning side catchment is high density SIMD 9 and 10 so walking possible though the main roads are busy.</p> <p>Chauffeuring to a drop off is also likely </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=19937#post-317395 Fri, 08 Nov 2019 03:21:18 +0000 gkgk 317395@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Interesting. I see the 86 spaces are for bikes <em>and scooters</em>, so a bit of wiggle room there. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=19937#post-317394 Fri, 08 Nov 2019 01:18:26 +0000 Snowy 317394@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Excellent. More of this.</p> <p>Although, parking for 86 bikes? Could be better. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=19937#post-317393 Fri, 08 Nov 2019 01:02:02 +0000 chdot 317393@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>“</p> <p>it won't have any car parking or drop-off zone</p> <p>“</p> <p><a href="https://www.edinburghnews.scotsman.com/news/politics/council/new-primary-school-morningside-approved-it-wont-have-any-car-parking-or-drop-zone-854890" rel="nofollow">https://www.edinburghnews.scotsman.com/news/politics/council/new-primary-school-morningside-approved-it-wont-have-any-car-parking-or-drop-zone-854890</a> </p>
