Edinburgh City Council has revealed that 57 percent of respondents objected to the city’s Travelling Safely programme - previously known as Spaces for People - either in full or in part.
The 1,230 responses have been quantified and released ahead of a Transport and Environment Committee on Thursday to hear an update on the future of Travelling Safely measures.
Most objections related to traffic congestion, safety issues, cycling and cycle lane comments, pollution, accessibility, and parking, but the council said it is worth noting the ‘relatively large number of supportive comments’ which are generally related to feeling safer in the current cycle lanes and feeling encouraged to cycle more often.
