Reminder - tomorrow
The drop-in session will take place on Tuesday 20 February from 1pm-7pm at Harry’s Bar, 7B Randolph Place.
Three different options for the redesign of Randolph Place will be presented at the session and the CCWEL team will be keen take on board people's feedback on the options.
Following the drop-in there will be an online consultation on the council’s Consultation Hub, so that anyone who is unable to make the session in person can still take part in the process.
Information regarding this session will be available on the Council’s website from Tomorrow [16th Feb].
Councillor Lesley Macinnes, Transport and Environment Convener, said: "We're really keen to hear from as many people as possible as we shape the detailed designs for this pioneering CCWEL project. Once complete, it's anticipated to prompt a real step change in how people travel to and through the city centre, with journeys by bike expected to increase dramatically."
This section of the CCWEL project (Section 2 from Haymarket to Charlotte Square) will be progressing through a statutory consultation later this year as part of the Traffic Regulation Order which will be required to deliver the project.
At this time the public will be able to comment or object on aspects of the overall CCWEL project throughout the West End.
For more information or to sign up to the CCWEL mailing list please get in touch.

Yes, I went.
The difference between the options:
1. Two way on Randolph place with one way on Charlotte Lane. Parking on one side of Randolph Place.
2. Two way on Randolph place with Charlotte Lane closed apart from some delivery times. Parking on one side of Randolph Place.
3. One way onto Randolph place from Queeensferry Street and one way on Charlotte Lane, so traffic flow would be one way. Contraflow for bikes plus parking on two sides of Randolph place resulting in a narrower carriageway.
All three options include Randolph Place being on a raised table.
My preference would be for option 2. It keeps parking down, and maximises pedestrian experience of Charlote lane. I don't like the idea of Option 3 with a narrower carriageway to accommodate a bike contraflow with parking on both sides. Feels less safe to me.

Larger plans and link to the consultation is here:

Having said that the consultation form failed for me, so I will try again later.
In the extra comments I also suggested a bikes only lights phase on the Junction with Queensferry Street as they are wanting to route a lot of bike traffic through there.

“The public realm improvements are being well received by the community.“
Surely not, that means change!

The economic benefits are also clear: improved walking infrastructure can increase retail sales by 30%. London has witnessed it on Oxford Street where the creation of a Tokyo-style pedestrian crossing led to a 25% increase in turnover in the adjacent stores.

In case people hadn't heard on the Randolph Place consultation, Option 2 had the most votes so that is what they are taking forward.

Went along in the way home. Some good mock ups and plenty of people to talk to.
Been busy all afternoon with a mixed bag of reactions.
Another drop in sessions on Thursday at the Apex, Haymarket and then designs release on the web & TRO process starts...

I don't understand the game of 'don't share on the internet' during some public consultations
It's as if they don't want people coming in ready to debate a point, instead having to spend their entire visit forming an opinion.

I went along to the Apex. Plans haven't really changed from those that followed the stakeholder group.
Disappointingly they will be relying on the good nature of drivers not to park on the lane. Just like on Leith Walk.
Construction anticipated to start Autumn 2019. Meanwhile in Glasgow: https://mobile.twitter.com/scwfriends/status/986305685230096384

Sounds like a job for Protection Not Paint!

Yes, the council rep said that the kerb between the road and cycle lane would deter people from parking on it. I raised my eyebrows.

Well that's true for those in Ferraris.

Popped in at the close of the information event tonight. Seemed to have been another busy day - over 100 people had signed the visitor sheet.
While I was there, it seemed to be a tough crowd, but CEC doing their best to explain the designs.
Formal TRO process starts tomorrow. Hold onto your hats...
