According to Googol Street View there's a bus lane outside the church anyway. So they're parking in the bus lane then? Typical. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=8998#post-92235 Mon, 26 Nov 2012 13:41:47 +0000 DaveC 92235@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Bonkers how one person who wants to sel their house can block 100 advocates for a crossing. You'd think a crossing outside your house would be seen as a bonus, not a negative? Having the benefit of it outside your house to use, having people using it during the day, so meaning people loiter outside your house for a minute or so which might deter burglers as its under a watchfull eye of passers by....</p> <p>Narror minded, in my own view. I don't beleive one desenting voicve should be able to out vote that of the many.</p> <p>I'm sure kalma will get them in the end. A local school in my home town got a speed check after the new headmaster demanded one. Guess who was first to be caught speeding? </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=8998#post-92230 Mon, 26 Nov 2012 13:35:36 +0000 cb 92230@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p><a href="http://www.scotsman.com/news/transport/road-safety-boost-as-new-crossings-get-green-light-1-2659569">Road safety boost as new crossings get green light</a></p> <p>No new crossing in Blackhall because:</p> <p>"One resident feared the noise from the bleeper would hit the sale of their house in future while another said it would lead to tailbacks."</p> <p>and also:</p> <p>"[...] fears that the removal of parking directly outside Blackhall St Columba’s Church would have a negative impact on ceremonies, leaving wedding cars and hearses ­unable to park." </p>
