(I browsed around a few TEC meeting packs and the best I could find was a vague commitment to bring proposals to TEC late 2024)

Can you remember any of the specific streets involved?

It just came up because someone rolled their car over on Lanark Road in Juniper Green and the community council mentioned a resident asked them about 20mph, as though there hadn't been a huge consultation on it recently. It was earmarked to be 20 on the diagram at the time.

The consultation page itself says:
"Responses from the consultation will be used to inform detailed proposals which will be reported back to Committee towards the end of 2024."
The latest TEC "work plan" shows "20mph Speed Limit Implementation Plan" planned for the December 2024 meeting: https://democracy.edinburgh.gov.uk/documents/s73038/5.1%20-%20Work%20Programme.pdf
It was last discussed at TEC in April, as far as I can tell. Paragraphs 4.20-23 here: https://democracy.edinburgh.gov.uk/documents/s69299/Item%207.1%20-%20Road%20Safety%20Delivery%20Plan%202024-25.pdf
The webcast is here. I haven't watched it, so have no idea if 20mph was even mentioned, but the road safety section starts at 1:51:30.

I'm pretty sure that Craiglockart Avenue was one of the streets proposed to have a 20mph limit. Also part of Oxgangs Road North IIRC.
Come to think, weren't Cluny Gardens and Oxgangs Avenue included in the consultation? Both of those have been 20mph limits for some time now. Or were they part of a different plan and consultation?

The map of the most recent proposals is here: https://cityofedinburgh.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=d3530fbe026742e693dee6254ad6611d
Cluny Gardens and Oxgangs Avenue were both done in earlier reviews.

Since I go that way quite frequently, I am constantly puzzled by the stretch of 30mph speed limit on the A70 in Slateford which starts for no obvious reason 70m short of the traffic lights for Inglis Green Road (westbound). Yes, the A70 is 30mph from that junction westwards, fair enough - but why does the higher speed limit start before that junction, in the middle of basically nowhere - especially when traffic turning right into Inglis Green Road is straight back into a 20mph limit all the way to the Longstone bus garage roundabout?

From Monday June 9, we’ll begin implementing a series of speed reduction measures, from 40mph to 30mph, in locations across the city.
