Example email we were copied in support of the Order... I write as an individual in support of the above Order. I am moved to write because of the misrepresentation taking place over the Rose Street proposal. Reasoned comment and objection is always to be welcomed, but misrepresentation is neither. Many appear to have been led to believe there will be a physical cycle lane, whilst Living Streets claim this is intended to be a 'major cycle route.' Both are clearly untrue. All the Council proposes is to allow contraflow cycling - not to sign or designate this as a major cycle route, or to introduce physical measures encouraging cyclists to use Rose Street as would be necessary if it was intended to be a significant cycle route. Cycling in the other direction has been permitted for many years, with no problems of which I am aware. I take advantage of this to access premises in Rose Street maybe 3 or so times a year. I note that the number of people cycling is low, and those that I do see on bikes are generally very respectful of pedestrians. There is no reason to think that being able to cycle legally in the other direction will be any different. I imagine most people who cycle in Rose Street are doing so to access premises (and indeed Tiso has bike parking outside). Anyone wishing and able to cycle at more than slow speed or wishing a through route is almost certainly going to use either Princes Street or George Street, rather than detouring to Rose Street (it does not start or end as part of a through route) and then having to cycle slowly in order to take care of pedestrians.
#RoseStreet & others
🚲 legal E->W for years; works well for access
Pls email before 1st Aug [see 1st attachment] to support 2-way and to counter objections
