Whilst the council is to be congratulated on continuing growth in bike use, the rate of change is not fast enough to achieve its 2020 cycle use targets, and bolder steps are needed. The Leith Walk proposals should be a step change up from QBiC, but much more is needed in the important corridor from South Edinburgh to the City Centre.
Council policies on encouraging people to move from car to cycling, walking, car club and public transport are working too, as new Census data shows – with Edinburgh the only council in Scotland to succeed in bucking the trend to higher car ownership. Again, however, as the data shows, progress is slow.
