On the 28th January, Edinburgh City Council's Transport and Environment Committee met to discuss the most recent proposals within the Spaces for People initiative. One of these proposals is traffic calming and cycling infrastructure on Braid Hills Drive and adjacent roads. Details can be found here, in section 4.4.4 -  Spaces for People update January 2021.  

A brief mention of this scheme is made in the Council's committee webcast  at 1 hour 19 minutes and 2 hours 8 munutes.  Link here (TEC webcast). More details of the options proposed are listed on Councillor Scott Arthur's facebook page (Scott Arthur's Facebook page). Dr. Arthur states that the two-way cycle lane is to be sited on the North side of Braid Hills Drive, but the most recent proposal states that it will be on the South side of the road. 

The Council has published the following proposals for the introduction of temporary cycle lanes on Braid Hills Drive (red). The original proposal, put forward by council officers, also indicated cycle lanes along Liberton Drive (green) and Braid Hills Road (blue), but this is less clear in the most recent statement on the Council's website (Edinburgh Council SfP plans). So, our first question is, are you in favour of any road safety measures on Braid Hills Drive, Braid Hills Road and Liberton Drive? Please add any further comments in the box below your answer.
