Other cities are cracking on with removing through traffic from their city centres. Giving a HUGE boost to public transport, active travel, economic vitality & liveability. Time to implement Edinburgh's city centre Circulation Plan @cllr_jenkinson @DAstonSNP @KayleighFONeill
THIS IS HUGE. Paris City Hall has announced that starting on Monday, Paris will limit (not ban) car traffic in the city centre, as cities like Ghent have done. They’re creating a limited traffic zone (ZTL) about 2 sq miles in size, to clean the air & create more space for people.

Not having a car is great in a small city like Edinburgh. Hire a cargo bike if you need to carry stuff. Or buy one;-) Take a bus or tram some days and don't get caught up in the 'how was the drive to work?' treadmill. 🐹 @edi_dot_bike @SW20Ed @EnergyPorty @edfoc @cargobikemovmnt – at Edinburgh, Scotland
