Covid-19 Cycling and Walking Emergency Response MeasuresProposed Measures at Queensferry and Echline Primary Schools

From CEC …

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 these schemes. In summary they show:

ECHLINE PRIMARY SCHOOL

Introduce parking restrictions at the junction with the B924 Bo’ness Road

QUEENSFERRY PRIMARY SCHOOL

Introduce new waiting restrictions on Burgess Road along the school frontage to keep the area clear for physical distancing.
Given the urgency to make the required changes any comments relating to these proposals should be received by 1200hrs on Friday 14 August 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.
