Historic village, full of character & a topography that enhances its environment but poses challenges to moving around!

One of many ‘towns’ in Edinburgh (Gorgie, Easter Rd, Stockbridge etc).

One that is ripe for improvement.

Almost all political parties want active healthy populations using 20 min neighbourhoods. That’s the prize for @ColintonCC, @ColintonAmenity, @PhilipDoggart @lmacinnessnp @CllrScottArthur @best_edinburgh @SustransScot @SpokesLothian

It’s possible. Let’s dream.

What’s the goal?

1. A healthier community

There are tight pavements, often where there is either parking at limited times, recessed parking or sufficient width on the road to extend pavements. #spacesforpeople or #spacesforvehicles ?

Stakeholders might gaze at recent changes to Edinburgh’s streetscape & claim the most vulnerable aren’t being prioritised. Are they here?

Can we agree status quo is

There is a lot of clutter, reducing the amenity of conservation area & obstructing, almost exclusively, pedestrians.

Try walking with sticks,

Also, no blue badge provision. Despite ample (often unused) parking. None.

Clutter, clutter, clutter.... @LivingStreetsEd @LStreetsScot @StreetWurrier will be mad!

Some clutter is moveable and cute...

And then there is the Bridge/Colinto/Woodhall Roads junction, a clear prioritisation of cars over all other modes.
