Spokes draft response... Barnton Connections: DRAFT Spokes Response Spokes strongly supports the proposed improvements which will make hostile streets and junctions significantly safer for pedestrians and cyclists. Connecting to NCN1 and the new paths at Cammo Meadows/Maybury Road will provide new, safe routes for many. We are, however, extremely disappointed that the northern scope of the project will not reach Cramond. Extending the route further north provides invaluable network benefits, connects Cramond Primary to a safe cycling route, and provides an accessible alternative to the River Almond Walkway. Project Comments Signalised crossings are proposed at several busy junctions. Signal timings should be carefully considered to prevent significant delays for pedestrians and cyclists. Where there are significant space constraints, it is expected that the transport hierarchy will be respected, with space being taken from the carriageway before cycleways and footways. It is expected that wayfinding will be provided as part of the project, taking into account the new ‘Edinburgh Cycle Network’. Public cycle parking and space for the Voi cycle hire scheme should be provided at the retail units on Whitehouse Road. Detailed Comments Sheet 1a The current junction design at Cammo Gardens appears to require at least four signal stages. Consideration should be given to preventing extreme waits for the cycle stage, which can encourage non-compliance. Sheet 1b Gaps in the segregation should be provided to allow cyclists to join the route from Barnton Grove/Queensferry Road. Both arms of the A90 two-stage crossing should run simultaneously to prevent cyclists being held for long durations on the island, risking bikes backing onto running lanes. Sheet 2 Sheet 3a The cycleway should remain on the west side of the street, allowing for a continuous route. Swapping sides adds entrenched delay and makes the route less attractive. Should the toucan crossing be retained, it should be…

Start of consultation page... Barnton Connections Barnton Connections Overview We have proposals to improve walking, wheeling, and cycling conditions along Maybury Road from the new housing at Cammo Meadows, through Barnton junction and along Whitehouse Road as far north as Barnton Avenue West. The changes would help the local community get to shops, schools and other important local facilities more easily and safely. They’ll be especially helpful for people living at Cammo, including the new Cammo Meadows housing, who currently have to cross the busy Barnton junction to get to the places they need.

It will do this by delivering: improved pavements and crossings making the area more accessible for pedestrians and wheelchair users and more pleasant spaces to spend time in. a cycle track segregated from vehicles and pedestrians, making it easier to cycle between Cammo Meadows and Whitehouse Road. better public spaces with new planting. improved connections, including linking into the National Cycle Network at Braepark Road and Barnton Avenue West. dedicated loading space for businesses on Whitehouse Road. changes to traffic movements including a new signalised junction with pedestrian crossings at Cammo Gardens, and lane changes at Barnton junction.

From my reading of the attached proposed map we will loose the Maybury Police Box.
Housebuilding and these improvements might actually have made it viable as a mini shop.

I am going to make enquiries but if anyone finds out anything about the future of the Box please do pass them on. #Barnton
