No road sense
I question further whether the anticipated number of cyclists using the new George Street cycle “lane” justify restrictions on access to the street and the 50 per cent loss of shopper parking involved. Also, what business case realistically exists for extended pavement cafes/restaurants on Princes Street justifying west to east use of the street for trams only? Furthermore, any proposal that fails to allow taxis the most direct route along Princes Street for the important journey to Waverley Station from the west is little short of barking mad. I agree with Denzil Skinner, chairman of business group Essential Edinburgh, that this proposal should be put on hold pending further debate.
