Show Notes
Leiths New Cycle Lane: A Mixed Blessing - A £4.6M project in Edinburghs Leith installs a cycle lane on Henderson Street, a quiet road with no through traffic. While aiming to boost biking options, the project closes a nearby bus stop, moves another farther from its destination, and causes longer walks for passengers, especially those with mobility challenges. Pedestrians and bus riders face congestion, delays, and poorer air quality, while the setup mainly benefits cyclists and delivery e-bike riders. The project highlights tensions in balancing active travel with everyday needs for locals who rely on buses and shops.
