@CllrScottArthur And not far away, in Roseburn Terrace, we have buses passing within feet of pedestrians. And tonight's huge queue of traffic along Roseburn Street, thanks in part to the changed priorities at the Russell Road Junction. All thanks to CEC.

@CllrScottArthur If it becomes part of a connected network, then weโll really see results! Also, big up to the driving school instructor who partially blocked the cycle track rather than move forward to the give way line (or allowed their learner to do it!).

@CllrScottArthur You honestly canโt be happy with whatโs going on in that video ๐

@CllrScottArthur Fantastic to see a car blocking the cycle lane for pretty much the entirety of your video there...

@CllrScottArthur I regularly see kids using it, especially on their way to school. ๐

@CllrScottArthur Construction on the ยฃ23m CCWEL route began in February 2022 and has been principally funded by the Scottish Government through Sustrans' Places for Everyone programme. For six cyclistsโฆ Hopefully as the weather gets better more people will use it. Is it weather dependant?

@CllrScottArthur The best part is that cyclists can turn left at that junction and get onto Roseburn Path. From there you can cycle all the way down to Newhaven away from traffic and trams. Thereโs hundreds, maybe thousands of cyclists on there every day. Terrific! ๐๐

@CllrScottArthur Councillor, don't mess up George Street as you've done with Melville Street. George Street is Edinburgh New Town's 'Principal Street', as such is for commercial and residential use, not as a bike track. One size doesn't fit all.

@CllrScottArthur There are tweaks required opposite Haymarket, drivers consistently ignoring the give way lines before the bike path. They don't have great visibility and have no buffer so just straddle the pavement and bike lane and I've had several close calls here using it daily.

@CllrScottArthur How much did it cost for the cycle lane for only 3 or 4 people on it at that time to use that path?
