I want to see fi there are any ways in which we can speed this up." </p> <p>“</p> <p><a href="https://www.edinburghnews.scotsman.com/news/edinburgh-buses-trial-of-7-7-7-bus-lanes-delayed-for-about-a-year-5201612" rel="nofollow">https://www.edinburghnews.scotsman.com/news/edinburgh-buses-trial-of-7-7-7-bus-lanes-delayed-for-about-a-year-5201612</a></p> <p>(No need to “subscribe”, as such, ‘click to allow cookies’ - if you choose to.)</p> <p>So, ThisIsEdinburgh and/or another bit of SA legacy(?) </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=21773#post-380154 Mon, 30 Jun 2025 20:37:19 +0000 bakky 380154@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Think it was EdinBUG I picked up the 2022 timeline from - you can watch Cllr Booth’s question and the response about delays at 35m into the webcast at <a href="https://edinburgh.public-i.tv/core/portal/webcast_interactive/996034" rel="nofollow">https://edinburgh.public-i.tv/core/portal/webcast_interactive/996034</a> </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=21773#post-380153 Mon, 30 Jun 2025 20:32:10 +0000 bakky 380153@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Cllr Booth asked about this at TEC June meeting. One issue has been, given the length of the route, waiting for a bunch of existing TRO/TTRO/ETRO orders to run their course, before they can ETRO the full 44 route. The last order they’re waiting for concludes in August; then advertise order from fhen, appoint contractor, work to implement in Feb 2026. </p> <p>No idea if this explains the fact the original go-ahead was 2022 or if there was also a bit of fuddle duddling along the way. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=21773#post-380152 Mon, 30 Jun 2025 20:14:07 +0000 gembo 380152@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Was an evening news story but I ain’t subscribing </p>
