Show Notes
Edinburgh Green councillors are advocating for immediate action to preserve traffic barriers and planters in Morningsides Braid estate, which serve as modal filters and part of a quiet route. A previous vote to remove them and install a segregated cycleway was invalidated due to councillors undisclosed interests. The experimental order allowing these barriers expires in June, before a new vote can occur. Residents are divided, with some favoring fewer cars for safer walking and cycling, while others prefer the cycleway. The Greens propose an urgent traffic sub-committee meeting to maintain the barriers under officer powers until a new vote, with transport convener Stephen Jenkinson committed to a fair process prioritizing safety.
