Was going to start a contraflow thread, then I found this one.
Nothing much happened in 11 years??
My bold
“
Question (1)
Which streets will see the installation of signage for contraflow cycling on one-way streets (as per Council policy) between now and the end of the 2023?
Answer (1)
Contraflow cycling on the following one-way streets is being delivered as part of the Leith Connections project:
• Burgess Street;
• Maritime Lane;
• Tolbooth Wynd; and
• Water Street
In addition, three further streets have just had contraflow cycling permitted as part of traffic management associated with the Kings Theatre redevelopment.
• Leven Terrace;
• Valleyfield Street; and
• Glengyle Terrace.
Officers are aware of the concerns that have been raised by various parties with respect to the changes on Glengyle Terrace. In order to allow us to better understand the operation of the new road layout and priority changes, officers have commissioned a video survey that will take place this week.
The survey will help to inform the development of any adjustments (if needed) to the current layouts.
Design work is underway on over 50 streets which are proposed to have contraflow cycling installed from August 2024.
Information will be provided to Committee and local ward Councillors at the appropriate time.
Question (2)
What metrics are used to determine which streets are suitable for the implementation of contraflow cycling signage? Item no 10.12
Answer (2)
Criteria considered include traffic flow and speed, road width and clear road width; cycle flows and parking and loading.
Question (3)
Is Cockburn Street part of the implementation plan? If not, why not?
Answer (3)
Contraflow cycling is not currently permitted on Cockburn Street. This will be considered as part of the current design work ongoing on Old Town Streets through the City Centre Transformation project
