Will be writing to my councillors urging them to support it (though haven't checked the full document other than cycling sections). </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=9680#post-139321 Fri, 10 Jan 2014 14:58:21 +0000 crowriver 139321@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p><em>Many LTS policies should benefit bike use, particularly those leading to reduced car speeds and use. It is excellent to see this specifically mentioned throughout the document – for example, in the on-street car parking section [LTS 12.3] the policy Park13 is a presumption to protect bus and cycle lanes by appropriate parking and loading restrictions.</em></p> <p>Sounds as though things may be about to change regarding parking... </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=9680#post-139291 Fri, 10 Jan 2014 13:19:13 +0000 kaputnik 139291@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>So let's defend road space for parking and motoring to the hilt, eh? </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=9680#post-139288 Fri, 10 Jan 2014 13:15:43 +0000 chdot 139288@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>"<br /> 2.7 Results of the 2011 Census show that, in Edinburgh, there has been a long - term increase in the mode shares of public transport, cycling walking for the journey to work over the last decade. Bus travel has grown, in contrast to decline in all other parts of Scotland and rail travel increased rapidly from a modest base. Cycling is growing well above the national average and more people walking to work, contrary to the national trend. Unique among local authorities in Scotland, Edinburgh has seen both a rising number and proportion of households that do not own a car and a declining proportion of people who drive to work.</p> <p>"</p> <p><a href="http://www.spokes.org.uk/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/1401-14-Item_No_7.2___Local_Transport_Strategy_2014_2019_FINAL.pdf" rel="nofollow">http://www.spokes.org.uk/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/1401-14-Item_No_7.2___Local_Transport_Strategy_2014_2019_FINAL.pdf</a> </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=9680#post-139286 Fri, 10 Jan 2014 13:08:58 +0000 chdot 139286@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p><a href="http://www.spokes.org.uk/wordpress/2014/01/edinburgh-local-transport-strategy-2014-19" rel="nofollow">http://www.spokes.org.uk/wordpress/2014/01/edinburgh-local-transport-strategy-2014-19</a> </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=9680#post-104759 Sun, 17 Mar 2013 14:29:27 +0000 gembo 104759@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Just scraped mine in before the st Patrick's day deadline </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=9680#post-104758 Sun, 17 Mar 2013 14:10:28 +0000 crowriver 104758@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Now done. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=9680#post-104756 Sun, 17 Mar 2013 13:41:25 +0000 crowriver 104756@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Deadline today! </p> <p>(I'm just getting around to it).</p> <p>I can recommend looking at the Spokes analysis beforehand:</p> <p><a href="http://www.spokes.org.uk/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/pall3.pdf" rel="nofollow">http://www.spokes.org.uk/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/pall3.pdf</a> </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=9680#post-104726 Sat, 16 Mar 2013 18:25:36 +0000 cc 104726@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Thanks for the reminder!
