But we also need to dual the A75.</p> <p>Graham Simpson (Con): Active travel is great, we'll spend at least 10% of the transport budget on active travel. But we also need to remember that drivers are *very* important people.</p> <p>Alex Rowley (Lab): Active travel is great, we'll spend 10% of the transport budget on active travel. But potholes are the main barrier to cycling.</p> <p>Mark Ruskell (Green): Active travel is great, we'll spend at least 10% of the transport budget on active travel. But we'd also introduce more 20mph speed limits.</p> <p>Jane Ann Liston (LD): Active travel is great, we'll spend 7% of the transport budget on active travel. If we tell women they'll drop a dress size, more of them would cycle.</p> <p>(In fairness to Cllr Liston, she really did seem to "get it", aside from the dress size comment.) </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=20559#post-349801 Wed, 21 Apr 2021 09:21:22 +0000 SRD 349801@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>oops. missed this. anything notable happen? </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=20559#post-349786 Tue, 20 Apr 2021 17:59:37 +0000 LaidBack 349786@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Never mind the European Super League - watch as Scotland's political parties battle for the active travel vote.
