Nice one.
I'm not sure of the CC's current position but the council has been testing the appetite for extended CPZ.
My position is it should be extended to take in the whole box of streets bordered by Easter Rd, London Rd, Duke / Great Junction Sts and Ferry Rd
My justification is that everywhere else in the city CPZ finishes 2-3Km from the city centre. Nobody will park and walk to work in the centre from Gorgie, Morningside or Cameron Toll. But you can park on any of the Leith Walk side streets and easily walk to new town offices as the fringe (Brunswick Rd) is only 500m from the Omni centre.
So yes, you'll have a bit more park and riding on the new fringe than now, but it won't be nearly so bad as the park and walking we get today on a street that is 20% parked on on a Sunday (residents) and >100% at 10am on a Monday
