some of the capacity on some of those. Continental countries do trams and bikes really well, it can be done. The folk who hate trams are the ones who cannot bear losing a tiny bit of road capacity to install them. I've been on the fence re Roseburn, but it would sever a fantastic well used route.
Gary, I'm a fan of active travel. I think we ought to have safe cycling routes (it's the only way to get more folk on their bikes) and far better public transport (which must include light rail & trams)/...
I just feel that the current users of the Roseburn Corridor are in danger of sounding a bit like those car users who object if you take a bit of road away/...
It would be tragic if this became an excuse to cancel the new tram route or make it overcomplicated/...
The trams would carry far more people than a bike route. It would also carry a far wider range of people (and, declaring an interest here- one of the things I miss suffering from long COVID is getting on my bike!)
I agree entirely, and always been on the side of turning cycle infra that had a former use as PT back to PT. We had former canal routes in London that are now cycle paths and looked at turning them into tram lines. I want more trams, but I'd rather see the car lobby lose out, before trams or bikes
