Talking of CEC and AT, I’ve only just realised that Daisy has left.
Her name was on many reports - especially the *big scheme* ones.
She also fronted things to TEC and Community Councils etc.
Her (former) boss is about to be CEC Big Boss.
The future is … ?

The future is "kick everything into the long grass", innit?
This is why we don't have time to wait for the council to build mega-schemes. We need to crack on with simple traffic reduction "stick*" schemes like bus-gates, modal filters and street parking reduction.
*Don't worry about the "carrots", they'll fall into place alright once the traffic reduction starts...

The completion date for the Roseburn to Dundee St link appears to be early October 2024*, according to the latest council report:
(page 14).
Let's see, eh? *Note I put the year in, for the record...

Blue bridge across the Mid Calder railway was installed last night apparently (no confirmation yet it actually happened)
Plus, drone footage of the progress

@neddie Last night there was some strange rumbling noises plus a low-loader with nothing on it was moving around in a rattly fashion.
Plus earlier in the day there was loads of plant in the "lay-by" on the West Approach Road spur to Gorgie Sainsburys.
So something was happening. Will investigate further tonight.

The Blue Bridge will be installed on Saturday night.
I will not be calling it the 'Mid Calder Bridge' because that is confusing

Pedantic - and does not usually bother me with the general public because it is an easy made mistake - but interesting the Council Youtube channel uses "Western Approach Road" where in reality it is "West Approach Road". You would think they would have it right... maybe

Google Maps goes for “W Approach Road"!

The Council's statutory list of public roads states "West Approach Road".

The Telfer Subway underpass from Dalry to Fountainpark — along with the Fountainpark-adjacent bus stops on the West Approach Rd — is set to be closed overnight at the start and end of next month for works on the final approach of the ‘Roseburn to Union Canal (But Not Actually the Canal Yet)’ link. This work likely consists of the new Toucan crossing on the West Approach Rd, leading to a bridge that joins to the southern end of the Telfer Subway ramp to Dundee St, providing access to Dundee Street from the new off-road Roseburn link due to open in ‘Autumn 2024’ (which feels like it may have started…)

This doesn’t look good

This new bridge at Fountainpark looks gey narrow for carrying pedestrians plus a major cycling artery. Hope they’ll remove the step almost immediately opposite the bridge, coz that’s a crash waiting to happen. (I suspect they won’t, as it’s also a fire exit)

So the budget extended to £20m of bridges to avoid a modal filter on Russell Rd, but not to compulsory purchase three feet of grass from the adjacent offices to make a path that meets even the 'absolute minimum' width from the standards document?
How very Edinburgh
