The November Spokes traffic count shows bikes rising to 13.0% of all vehicles during the 8-9am rush hour, averaged over our 4 counting points – the fourth successive annual rise, and up from 12.5% in November 2008. […] A circular is going out to all emailable Spokes members in the next couple of days. […] The Scottish Parliament has launched an Inquiry into Active Travel (walking and cycling) – this and much more is covered in Spokesworker 11.11.09 … […] A new underpass of the A8, at a critical location, will only allow bikes to be pushed – unless you object now!! […] Despite the extensive work that has gone into developing these proposals, councillors have decided on a major last-minute change. However, it is possible that the eventual net outcome will be beneficial to cycling conditions, for the reasons below. […] Good news from Edinburgh Council, whilst at Holyrood the draft budget for 2010/11 yet again boosts trunk road spending whilst maintaining cycling investment at a miserable level. […] SpokesWorker 27.10.09 is now on the SpokesWorker page above, with more on the Scottish budget, and lots of small news items – Botanics, Forth Bridge, tenement bike parking, 10:10 climate campaign, funding sources for local bike projects, and more. […] Spokes has responded to Edinburgh Council’s Public Realm Strategy Consultation. […] Final proposals for the Old Dalkeith Road bus and bike scheme have been published. […] |
