Counc M thank you Lord provest uh Lord provest the publication Discerning cyclist has published in the last week a list of the 13 worst bike Lanes in the world Edinburgh appears at numbers 1 4 and six Lord propice number one is leth walk Lew walk is clearly worse for
Motorists it’s difficult for tra with holdups at traffic lights it’s worse for bus users with delays it’s now confirmed it’s worse for cyclists and it’s clearly worse for pedestrians with floating bus stops and other uh invasions into their space Lord provice does the council leader agree
With me that the design of leth walk is suboptimal and what’s he going to do about it counc D thank you L Prov and I may refer to my transport if I don’t answer this proba but I think we have made major investments in so cycling walking and
Wheeling projects across the city in the next few months I think the two major projects um across the city will be complete thanks to the leadership of council Arthur and some excellent work from our officers including Daisy and her team um I’m not sure which survey councelor White’s referring to but if he
Can pass it on me I’d happily give him a more formal response from myself or councelor Arthur briefly councelor arur so I think these are uh good points counselor why I think in in Le walk the council tried to squeeze in you know buses trams cars parking deliveries pedestrians and a
Cycle Lane and when and when you actually walk down with walk as I know many councelors here do the people who have lost out there have been pedestrians uh the people who are supposed to be at the top of the high transport hierarchy have ended up at the
Bottom and and I’ve been really clear right since the start of my convenor and I think the the committee agrees with this as well is that we will not repeat that situation on Le walk H floating bus stops had a really good conversation recently with residen of community
Councils and we are looking at one of the flo bus stops in particular and we will take steps to make that safer and that’s the one on elmro thank you thanks

When will you put up some videos on public toilets? I do not see any. How many public toilets are on Leith Walk? I think pedestrians are losing out…..by design and a desire to nudge them into not walking.
