"New Spokesworker: #Bicycle sheds banned, Leith Walk future, events"

This is an interesting development:
As Spokesworker 17.6.12 reported, following emails from many
concerned spokes members and others, councillors rejected a plan
which included car parking uphill on Market Street, to replace
spaces lost through a proposed car ban at Waverley Station.
The council has now made a new deal with Network Rail, which
instead allows short-term car parking in New St car park.

Street - for which money is allocated in the council cycle budget,
but which had appeared to be scuppered by the parking plan.
Spokes is arguing that the cycle lane should now go ahead and that
it should be Edinburgh's first mandatory lane – i.e. a solid white
line which cars are not allowed to cross or park in at any time. If
you agree, please contact your councillors!Posted 12 years ago #
