Covid-19 Cycling and Walking Emergency Response Measures at Brunstane Primary School

Dear Councillors and Stakeholders

Covid-19 Cycling and Walking Emergency Response Measures

Proposed Measures at Brunstane Primary School

Please be advised that as part of overall emergency measures we are proposing to re-designate key parts of the road network to help pedestrians and cyclists travel safely while meeting physical distancing requirements. 
I have attached the proposed designs for the scheme.  In summary it shows:
  • Introduce double yellow lines on the bend at the school gates to deter parking
Given the urgency to make the required changes any comments relating to these proposals should be received by noon on Monday 12th October 2020 to spacesforpeople@edinburgh.gov.uk.
All feedback will be reviewed and where possible the scheme will be further refined. Feedback will be summarised in an assessment feedback form which will be presented to the Council Incident Management Team for approval. Please note that we will be unable to respond to individual emails.
If the proposal is approved for implementation, publicity will then be undertaken so that local people are aware of the changes. A dedicated inbox will help us to manage any feedback around proposals – spacesforpeople@edinburgh.gov.uk
The introduction of, or changes to, any restrictions will be implemented under emergency delegated decision-making powers using a Temporary Traffic Regulation Order.
 
Regards
On behalf of the Spaces for People Team
