    Cooncil "master" plan boring version

    Cooncil colourful plan

    Cooncil survey

    The pictures on the designs page are obviously a PITA to zoom into to make anything visible to the naked eye and not a microsocope. Could tie in nicely with the Harrison Road thread but to me the whole thing could benefit from a one way system over the 4 canal bridges.

    Worth going to the "in-person at the drop-in events at Fountainbridge Library, 12 November and 19 November, 1pm – 6:30pm" to point out the random stupidity of the cycle lanes that cross pavements and then melt back into traffic.

    Aha - open in new tab lets you zoom in better and move around
    I quite like what they are doing at top of Ashley Terrace to get bikes over the bridge rather than under it
    Harrison Place narrowing a little bit lip service but it is something at least
    Harrison Road gets madness, looks like bye bye phone box and possibly a tree to cut bikes across the pavement (and traffic coming from Hroad to HGdns WTF!) which has been a bit rubbish at bottom of Ardmillan... And back into peds on West Bryson road too, this is as bad as Leith Walk (which I hope to never have to cycle ever again) Zebra crossing about [forever] too late but at least is something. Lots of parking spaces gone due to the zigzqags so expect the permit holders to be up in arms...
    West Bryson to Bryson road is simply flipping the right of way which is fair as the right turn is pretty much the way most vehicles go.
    No right turn down Henderson Terrace will be unpopular given the already complicated triangle of doom around Ardmillan/Dalry/Gorgie which will only force traffic to rat run down Ardmillan Place. Again with the cycle/ped collision lane coming up from HTer!
    End of Fowler Ter wow dead end with cycles only will only screw with the single lane Dundee Ter.
    Further east into town it goes the more I like it, except the double zebras over cycle lane to the bus stops, will have cyclists stopping every 10 yards which will just be infuriating for momentum lovers.
    Gardiner's Cres looks like tartan but might work and is definitely better than existing
