Really just creating more hurdles to cross for any future attempt to civilise the street. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=20117#post-323694 Mon, 02 Mar 2020 10:43:31 +0000 Frenchy 323694@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>The 1200 figure is about additional parking, from what is currently yellow lines. There are also changes to bay types. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=20117#post-323693 Mon, 02 Mar 2020 10:42:31 +0000 neddie 323693@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p><em>two permits per household</em></p> <p>That means you would need space for 16 cars outside our block!</p> <p>The 8 households in our block currently have one side of the road, with parallel parking - space for 3 cars. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=20117#post-323689 Mon, 02 Mar 2020 10:14:55 +0000 chdot 323689@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>“</p> <p>“The argument put forward in the report is that the number of spaces has to rise to match the number of permits, given that council policy is to allow up to two permits per household.</p> <p>“</p> <p><a href="https://www.edinburghnews.scotsman.com/news/politics/council/more-1200-new-parking-spaces-edinburgh-slammed-breathtakingly-hypocritical-2004307" rel="nofollow">https://www.edinburghnews.scotsman.com/news/politics/council/more-1200-new-parking-spaces-edinburgh-slammed-breathtakingly-hypocritical-2004307</a></p> <p>Is this about allowing parking where it’s not currently allowed or letting permit holders park in pay-for bays (or both?) </p>
