David Hunter, the group’s Convener, said: ”Despite a £10 million price tag, the plans for Dundee Street would not only leave many pavements below the minimum width recognised in both local and national guidance, they would actually reduce pavement space.
“New cycle lanes shouldn’t come from walking space. We’ve already seen how pedestrian space was squeezed out in Leith Walk, and Dundee Street would make the same mistake. We really need to see the Council stick to its own policy - that means putting pedestrians’ needs first, above other road users.”

Walking campaign group Living Streets Edinburgh has come out against a proposed active travel scheme for Dundee Street and Fountainbridge. Sign up to our daily newsletter
It says the plans fail to put pedestrians first, with pavements reduced in width in at least 12 locations and many left below the minimum width recognised in both local and national guidance.

"Walking campaign group".
Interesting description for a group that spends its time almost exclusively campaigning against cycling schemes.

Urgh! What a depressing start to the year.
[cyclists should just use these back-streets] in Shandon and North Merchiston rather than Dundee Street
Have we gone back to the 20th Century?

OMG that LSE grifter again.
Living Streets Edinburgh supports the provision of alternative routes for cyclists to the congested Union Canal towpath, but suggests this should be achieved using traffic-free and quiet streets in Shandon and North Merchiston rather than Dundee Street.
There are no E-W thoroughfares except the Canal, Dundee St & Gilmore Place. David Hunter (ie LSE, for it is he) is steadfastly against cycling on the Canal and segregated cycle paths on either road.

The Canal Towpath is the designated cycle route NCN 75 - there are signs all along it telling that walloper this,. He is just a troller. I bet Living Streets dont have a constitutional way of removing him and are just hoping he will FOAD. To avoid his litigation.
