Real ambition, proposing concrete measures to reduce/manage demand for car trips into the city. Also plans to develop high-capacity transit corridors and cycle routes on major arterial roads. Also, tacking freight transport issues, with transshipment hubs and green last-mile deliveries.</p> <p>Obviously turning policy into action is the big issue. "A city transformed" in 10 years looks ambitious when compared with the time taken on minor projects to date - but other cities have managed such a change and there is no real reason why it couldn't happen here if there is the political will at a national and local level. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=20022#post-320538 Fri, 10 Jan 2020 12:21:35 +0000 Stickman 320538@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Published today, to be discussed at Transport Committee next week before the dreaded phase of public consultation begins. </p> <p>Lots to digest, and yes it’s just another plan on paper at the moment, but it’s certainly saying the right things. </p> <p><a href="https://democracy.edinburgh.gov.uk/documents/s12642/City%20Mobility%20Plan.pdf" rel="nofollow">https://democracy.edinburgh.gov.uk/documents/s12642/City%20Mobility%20Plan.pdf</a> </p>
