Since July East Lothian Council has been working to implement your suggestions. So far we have:
Replaced 30mph speed limits in our towns and villages with 20mph limits to: allow more flexible use of our town centres and allow us to respond to requests for alternative uses of public space make it easier to cross the road if necessary to maintain social distances support walking and cycling to schoolExtended 40mph limits on roads into towns which are busy routes to schools Created additional space for queuing outside shops and at bus stops in Musselburgh, Tranent and Dunbar Widened footways in the town centre and on routes to school in North Berwick Closed a road to make space for pedestrians and cyclists outside the primary school in Dunbar Started building a new cycle path between Cockenzie and Prestonpans Extended the public on-street hire of ‘Just Eat’ bikes from Edinburgh into MusselburghWe are still working with communities to agree and implement further projects such as:
Junction redesign at Knox Place in Haddington to create more space for pedestrians Extensive road markings to highlight the presence of cyclists on commuter routes in Musselburgh and Tranent Physical measures to reinforce the new speed limits New paths around Dunbar Additional road crossings in North Berwick E-bike hire scheme in towns across the countyDetailed plans can be viewed, and further comments left, at https://arcg.is/1LHHmz0
