Edinburgh Council has an active transit consultation open for Dundee St and Fountainbridge.

https://consultationhub.edinburgh.gov.uk/sfc/dundee-street-fountainbridge-active-travel/consult_view/

It closes next Monday so get your thoughts in sooner rather than later.

If a road bridge was out of service, would they take months to reopen it and provide no alternative to walking a much longer route?

Listening to an article on CBC about Doug Ford's plan to remove bike lanes and all I can think about is this bit of pithiness.

When biking infrastructure is only seen as "recreational", it leads to design choices that make it unreliable for practical transportation use.

Walking along when suddenly...the sidewalk ends! Where am I supposed to go? Who designed this? Why doesn't the sidewalk continue?!

"You can't pick up groceries with a bike," they said

I rode 43 miles today on my ebike:

- school drop off (w/ boy on back)
- doc appointment
- library
- lunch at dive (never again)
- pharmacy
- home
- school pick up (w/ boy)
- restaurant (w/ boy)
- band practice (w/ boy)
- home (w/ boy)

I'm kind of tired now. Fitness app says 2100 calories burned.

Car infrastructure: bridge over the creek

Pedestrian/bike infrastructure: path under the bridge that floods and gets muddy every time it rains

This is what you get when walking and biking are seen solely as recreation, rather than critical transit.
