CityCyclingEdinburgh was launched on the 27th of October 2009 as "an experiment".
IT’S TRUE!
CCE is 15years old!
Well done to ALL posters
It soon became useful and entertaining. There are regular posters, people who add useful info occasionally and plenty more who drop by to watch. That's fine. If you want to add news/comments it's easy to register and become a member.

We are developing designs for improvements along the Roseburn to South Gyle route known as #QuietRoute9. You can share your views before 27 March at https://consultationhub.edinburgh.gov.uk/sfc/roseburntosouthgyle/
The work will make the streets safer and easier to use for anyone walking, wheeling and #cycling

"There was a tractor on the green and I just thought, 'No, you can't do this. You've not even consulted us'," said Ms Marsh, who has lived in Redruth Close for 17 years.

Correct decision by council to immediately reallocate funds to an area that won't protest against improvements IMO. Not a hill worth dying on
As ever, this story really about parking. A quick swatch at the satellite view on google maps shows several cars parked on the grassy area.
I am so sick of cars helping themselves to every bit of available space they can physically get their wheels on to.
Meanwhile the kids are playing with a Moonball* indoors in the living room, when they should be playing with it in the street, and engaging in spontaneous play with other kids. But they can’t go into the street because cars.

So depressing seeing what we’ve lost.
*Large bouncy ball wrecking ball curse/trend, that we’ve avoided getting for as long as possible, but has now been given to us
Possibly a bit niche - consultation on Murieston Park Play area:
My immediate response to the "Murieston Park Play area consultation" would be to shut the bounding roads to through-traffic and reconnect the park to the tenements to which it belongs
‘We’ like niche…
Am in two minds about EGBT involvement in this sort of thing. Probably more interested in the Park than consultants looking at other parks for CEC.
Probably cheaper too.
But is an online Q much use? (Presume they are doing other things too?) At least this one has all the questions on one page! Something of a novelty these days.
I’ve been told of a consultation done by “consultants” where NINE staff turned up for an ‘in person’ event with ‘mood board.’
Nine may be an exaggeration, but they weren’t outnumbered by ‘members of the public. A
Apparently they had no answer to ‘why don’t you go to the park and ask people using it?’

The public are to be given the chance to view and comment on proposals for a sustainable residential-led development at Maybury Quarter Edinburgh, the site of the former Saica packaging facility in the west of the city.
Promoted by regeneration specialist Summix Capital, Maybury Quarter Edinburgh aims regenerate the former industrial location on Turnhouse Road, which covers 15.5 acres (6.3 hectares).
The flagship low carbon neighbourhood aims to deliver a mix of uses, including housing, hotel, commercial and retail uses. This brownfield site is allocated in the City of Edinburgh Council’s Proposed City Plan 2030 for residential-focused redevelopment.
The first public consultation event outlining the proposals will be on Wednesday 27th March 2024 at Delta Hotels by Marriott, 111 Glasgow Rd, Edinburgh EH12 8NF between 2pm and 7pm.
A second event will be held on 22nd May 2024 at the same venue and time, presenting updated proposals which will include appropriate feedback and comments from the first event and other stakeholder engagement. Further information will be made available at http://www.maybury-quarter.co.uk, which will host consultation materials on the day of the event.

If you’re one of the half a million people who live in Edinburgh, then this will matter to you. To prioritise investment this consultation seeks community-level views on where the Council could save money, where it is doing well & where it needs to improve

Saw that Dalry Road project (with bus gate, cycle tracks etc) consultation advertised on Twitter, here's the proposed design PDFs to save anyone going through the survey.
Dundee Street

We can't share them before the consultation, which is a while off. It's basically a segregated cycle lane from Diggers to West Port with junction improvements along the way. No bus gates.
