This is progress - thank you @lmacinnessnp https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🙏🏼" title="Gefaltete Hände (mittelheller Hautton)" aria-label="Emoji: Gefaltete Hände (mittelheller Hautton)">

Why is this important? Because finally we are seeing the development of actual routes that people can use. Of course the schemes aren’t perfect but they are game changing. If @welovehistory closes park permanently to through traffic we get a safe onroad route from Porty to city.

We couldnt have achieved this without thoughtful input by @SpokesPorty and @SpokesLothian - volunteers putting in time and energy to explain why https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🚲" title="Fahrrad" aria-label="Emoji: Fahrrad"> routes are needed and how they can be improved. So proud to have played a small part of this fantastic improvement for the city.
