The @EdCriticalMass ride today visited part of the Quiet Route which the council is dismantling. Read more here https://t.co/EiPhv4jzez
Please sign the #petition to retain the #BraidEstate quiet route, which the council is proposing to rip out. The #QuietRoute enables the local bike bus providing a safe route for kids to cycle to school. #CyclingInEdinburgh

Excellent summary of Transport Cttee #EdinWebcast debate & bad decision

🙋♀️NB, as we understand it, filter removal is just next stage in ongoing legal ETRO process.
Cllrs can reinstate filters at end of process, after monitoring the new setup

Agreed, you were consistent in some respects, but not others, e.g.
In #BraidEstate the Conservative amendment, amongst other things, sought to remove existing filters
In #CityCentre you did not propose to remove existing filters

🤔Interestingly, the Transport Committee and Convener who voted to remove the #BraidEstate filters at the 7.3.24 meeting
also voted, at their 1.2.24 meeting, to retain 29 existing filters and install 32 more!

😞Voting...
6 - Option 3 (amended), Lab/LD/Con
3 - Opt 1 + seg cycleroute, SNP
2 - Opt 1, Green
Also:
a. Two Option 3 versions will come to cttee for decision soon
b. ETRO still underway, so filters could come back if enough public demand once they go!

30% traffic reduction:
[if we heard right] Today "may be a small step in the wrong direction" but overall policies will achieve the 30%, most importantly...
1. City Centre ban through traffic
2. Major bus priorities
3. If necessary, congestion charge

@julebandel powerful speech to support Option 1 ...
How can councillors vote for a scheme which the report makes clear will reduce road safety and is totally opposed to the #MobilityPlan approved by same Committee - and in the week of a child death

@DAstonSNP amendment: Option 3 provides zero benfit for walking
Cllr Dobbin: Deputations & @CllrBenParker were very effective and moving
Cllr Neil Ross (LD) says current scheme dangerous for🚲e.g. at the modal filters (!?)

Q: @julebandel Would a costly cycleroute in this residential area set a precedent elsewhere?
Officer: Council policy does not suggest segregated routes in residential areas, only on main roads, but decisions are up to councillors

Q: Cllr Munro asks re officer personal views
Senior Officer: Officers only say which option fits policy - Option 1. But decision up to cllrs
Q: @KatrinaFaccenda concern that costly scheme unfair to other areas
A: Other projects would be delayed/lost

Q: Cllr @DAstonSNP Which option best fits Council policies/targets?
Officer: Long answer, but clearly Option 1
Q: @julebandel Why no representative or equalities research?
Officer: Consultn was to get comments, should consider more equalities in future

Report-->https://t.co/OcFK5H2mCp
@CllrBenParker "sad and angry" at likely decision, making life more dangerous for children from the 6 affected schools
Filters drastically improved traffic levels & speeds; they should be extended to the other areas

Powerful deputn by parent & pensioner from #BraidAvenue seeking to save quiet area Option 1
Q: @CllrScottArthur Why did 50% support option 3?
A1: slightly greater🚙convenience
A2: some areas have more🚙intrusion, but Option 1 revisions tackle this
@Edinburgh_CC @CyclingEdin @CllrScottArthur @KatrinaFaccenda @DAstonSNP @FinlayMcF @julebandel @SanneDD @kevin_lang @CouncillorCowdy @harts_cyclery @edi_dot_bike @SW20Ed @SpokesPorty @best_edinburgh @InfraSisters @EdCriticalMass @ibikeEdinburgh @johnrobson87 @Cyclesouthedin @POPScotland @KayleighFONeill @blackfordsafer1 #Edinwebcast #BraidEstate
Q: @julebandel comment on modal filters?
A: Essential to make traffic low; allow children to use road instead of pavement. Residential area lanes only serve specific N-S trips
#BraidAvenue deputn: prior to quiet route it was nightmare, now transformed
@Edinburgh_CC @CyclingEdin @CllrScottArthur @KatrinaFaccenda @DAstonSNP @FinlayMcF @julebandel @SanneDD @kevin_lang @CouncillorCowdy @harts_cyclery @edi_dot_bike @SW20Ed @SpokesPorty @best_edinburgh @InfraSisters @EdCriticalMass @ibikeEdinburgh @johnrobson87 @Cyclesouthedin @POPScotland @KayleighFONeill #Edinwebcast
#BraidEstate: cllrs to decide to
retain the low traffic area (option 1)
or scrap (option 3)
->https://t.co/OcFK5H2mCp
Spokes @Cyclesouthedin deputn-->https://t.co/8h6d950erl
@blackfordsafer1 verbal deputn
Option 3 puts🚙ahead of child safety walking to school
#Edinwebcast
@Edinburgh_CC Transport Cttee meets today in shadow of tragic death of age-11 Thomas Wong, killed in an 8.20am crash with a commercial bin lorry
Also a vote on scrapping #BraidEstate low traffic area which reduced through-traffic 40%

👍For some very controversial decisions, Council commissions an independent survey as well as self-selected consultation;
Often with *very* different results
🤔Why was that not done for this controversy?
🙄If council wants a representative picture, do it properly!
@SW20Ed @johnrobson87 @blackfordsafer1 @PLACEEdinburgh @best_edinburgh @LivingStreetsEd @Cyclesouthedin #BraidEstate #climatecrisis
Seems bizarre that 1st choice of 50% of residents responding means more through-traffic and less onstreet car parking
Even so, should Council cut £200K-£400K from other 🚶♀️👩🦽🚲projects (which ones?) to achieve this🚙increase?
