Fix the schools - and you'll fix the city. Meanwhile, Paris has now 300 "rue aux écoles". These are school street where walking, playing, relaxing and cycling is allowed, and driving is forbidden. Around 50% of all public nursery and elementary schools in Paris now have a school street in front.

Today Montpellier inaugurated its 5th tram line, bringing the network to 83 km. The first line was opened in 2000. The network has grown highly interlined, with multiple trunks crossing the central area.

After lengthy repair, the 172m Porto’s Dom Luís I Bridge reopened to public transport, taxis, cyclists & pedestrians only. After lengthy repair, #Edinburgh’s 160m North Bridge reopened with a lane of hatching, no cycling provisions, without widening busy pavements and no traffic reduction measures.

Dom Luís I Bridge is a double-deck metal arch bridge that spans the river Douro between the cities of Porto and Vila Nova de Gaia in Portugal. On 27 June 2003, the upper deck was closed to motor traffic in order to adapt the structure for the metro system. The new "D Line" was inaugurated on 18 September 2005, and opened to the metro trams and pedestrian traffic. The lower deck remained open to general traffic until October 2021, when it closed temporarily to all traffic for the start of repairs and renovation work predicted to last about one year. When it reopened, in April 2023, the lower deck was restricted to public transport, taxis, cyclists and pedestrians.Photo shows North Bridge, four lanes for vehicles (x2 bus lanes, x2 vehicle area) and a fifth for hatching - space that could have been used for wider pavements. North Bridge is a bridge in Edinburgh linking the High Street with Princes Street, and the Old Town with the New Town. The current bridge was built between 1894 and 1897.

Edinburgh Napier University set to sell off its Merchiston Campus but not before 2031/2032 according to their Principal Prof Sue Rigby. In a letter, she said they will undertake student, staff, and community engagement ahead of any transition. We look forward to engaging with them.

Had my first bus trip experiences yesterday since the closure. The way the diversions have been done have ended up with multiple pinch-points with existing traffic flows when turning on and off George Street and there appears visibly to have been nothing done in terms of helping bus priority

As the buses pile up on #Edinburgh ‘s Princes Street, can people please stop asking ‘why do we need trams’?

The #EdFringe starts early with car brain comedy* signs: 1. Single file traffic: so let’s make the pavement single file too 2. Road ahead closed: so we’ve blocked the pavement too 3. Road ahead closed: sign blocking pavement obscured by cars anyway 4. Diversion: so pedestrians are diverted too

single file traffic sign adjacent to three open lanes for cars blocks the already tight busy high street pavement Road ahead closed sign for carriageway (not pavement) closure 100m away covers 80% of pavement Road closed ahead sign that blocks pavement is largely obscured behind parked carsDiverted traffic sign blocks 75% of pavement and is hidden behind a parked SUV that obscures the diversionary route for traffic

Welcomed a fantastic 48 young folk who ran, jogged, and walked around the course. Girls were dominating today with Isla claiming an impressive first place while setting a new female course record, & claiming most of the PBs. We all know girls are more resilient in the tougher weather of course. 💪
