SaveLanarkRoad Protest

Location: , Slateford (Scotland, UK)

Edinburgh City Council is considering to remove some of the temporary infrastructure put in as part of the SpacesForPeople programme during the pandemic. In particular there seems to be a serious plan to remove the segregated cycle lane on Lanark Road which is a 4 lane urban motorway. Plenty of space for a segregated cycle lane, car parking and two lanes for motor traffic. Somehow the ambition of netzero by 2030 has to be reached. This won't happen without making it easier for people to choose active travel.

Cars park end-on to the footway, and they overhang the only footway on this stretch of Carrington Rd between Crewe Road and Fettes Ave., reducing it to sub1.5m.
This is a peak route for people from the West to get to Inverleith Park and all its activities.
It is also the main route for children getting to-from Broughton High School (over 1000 students) plus it is used in evenings and weekends for extra-curricular activities.
Simple solution would be to change end-on parking to parallel. Reducing bay numbers, but hey, not the public's problem where you ditch your car! Go by train, bus, bike, foot!

[Image taken 7.7.18] Waverley Station, Edinburgh. Noticeboards next to cycle parking. They are used for publicising events and to provide other information of interest to people who cycle. An excellent practice other cities could adopt.
[In October 2018] the Lothian Cycle Campaign, Spokes (www.spokes.org.uk/) explained how it worked: "The material to go on the boards is entirely supplied by Spokes - usually as pdf's which the station then prints and puts them on the board. It is up to us to contact the station when we wish to change the content, and they then do it quite quickly...
...Historically we have had a series of boards in the station for many years, at different locations as the station developed, under similar arrangements to the above. The station manager decides the locations." See also: #165436, #165437, #165438.

The shared pavement and cycle way here is a joke. It gets really narrow by the bus stop where people are waiting and getting on and off buses. It's both dangourous for pedestrians and cyclists trying to filter through safely. It get's even worse on bin day when you also have to dodge them. This is a major route from West Lothian in to Edinburgh and needs big improvements.
