What's this, about £30k in billable hours for Balfour Beatty I bet. How you manage to fail to negotiate that corner from a near standstill in a 20mph limit Christ knows. We share the roads with these people. 1 word: BOLLARDS. #CCWEL @edinhelp

Council response to the concerns on traffic queuing on Roseburn St / Russell Rd in the post #CCWEL world 👆 TLDR: the junction is operating as intended, with reduced traffic volumes since pre Covid times, and some small increases in queue lengths...

Worth noting that the changes to Tesco🚦 were to bring in an 'All stop' phase to allow safe 🚶‍♂️ crossings in all direction The timings of the lights continue to prioritise the E-W traffic on the A8, which incudes multiple bus routes The cycle route itself hasnt impacted timings

The blocking of the Roseburn Gardend has also impacted traffic movements but has removed 1000s of vehicles from a narrow Residential road, totally unsuitable for thay volume. & finally, when considering options, the modelleling of alternative OptionB has worse queues on RR/RS

Melville Crescent gets a second chance History - CCWEL was supposed to bring street trees and wider sandstone footways to Melville Crescent, and a return of the setted street carriageway (using the setts which currently lie hidden under the existing asphalt surface). It was, however, removed from the project in Autumn 2021 to cut costs. Good News - We have won £2.1m from Transport Scotland to complete the work. Why - Not only will the changes create a much more welcoming environment, but they will restore some of the historic features unique to the street’s World Heritage status. What’s more, the project will also benefit people travelling by foot, wheel or bike, complementing the fantastic, world-class CCWEL route. When - Work will start on April 22nd, and continue until December this year.
Plan view of the changes.

These are moments I will never forget, and come after many years of effort from Council staff. 👍 It was great to see @LAHinds there yesterday, and it was disappointing @lmacinnessnp could not make it - both of my predecessors had huge influence over the project. 👍 After all the disruption, it is now time to reap the benefits. 👍

Great to attend launch of City Centre West to East Link (CCWEL) today with @patrickharvie @CllrScottArthur @julebandel @nigelbagshaw & many others. Pleased to see it open, but it’s taken far too long. Essential we speed up active travel delivery.
