Cycle lane from Hawthornevale to Seafield

Leith Links Community Council has sent in a response to the consultation on the proposed changes to the road (A199) between Seafield and Hawthornevale path, incorporating a new cycleway alongside the road. We have concerns about the scheme as a whole, as it narrows one of the busiest roads in the city, and disadvantages users of public transport, while there is an existing alternative cycleway through Leith Links, which – although it needs to be improved and extended  – would keep cyclists safer. We have sent in a detailed comment addressing the whole scheme (i.e. not just commenting on small parts of the scheme as the Consultation Hub survey invites us to).

The survey on the consultation hub closes today, 17th November, but comments will also be accepted by email, which may mean that you could squeeze a response into their mailbox a little past the consultation hub deadline: leithconnections@edinburgh.gov.uk
