Paul Lawrence Executive Director of Place Contact: Cliff Hutt, Service Manager - Transport Infrastructure E-mail: [email protected] | Tel: 0131 469 3751 Report Trial Closure of Brunstane Road and Associated Measures to Mitigate Intrusive Traffic in the Coillesdene Area 2. Executive Summary 2.1 Brunstane Road is a residential street to the east of Portobello which forms a route between Milton Road East to the south and Joppa Road to the north. It has been subject to longstanding traffic problems south of the bridge over the East Coast Main Line (ECML) due to a combination of traffic volumes and parking, resulting in traffic congestion, damage to parked vehicles and instances of anti-social behaviour from drivers. 2.2 This report highlights the options that have been considered to improve this situation and the possible impacts of each intervention, presents the findings of a recent and previous consultation on proposed changes and makes a recommendation to progress with an Experimental Traffic Regulation Order (ETRO) for the area. 3. Background 3.1 Residents on Brunstane Road, between Milton Road and the railway bridge, have experienced long-standing traffic problems due to a combination of the narrow width of the road, increasing volumes of traffic and the general increase in the physical size of vehicles. This has resulted in numerous instances of traffic congestion, anti-social behaviour by drivers and conflict with residents whose cars have frequently been damaged. 3.2 Following the closure of Brighton Place for road reconstruction work during 2019, representations were made from residents that this had increased traffic volumes on Brunstane Road. As a means of addressing this, the decision was taken in late February 2019 to close Brunstane Road to motorised vehicles, and this closure remained in place until December 2019 when Brighton Place reopened. 2 3.3 During this period, residents reported a significant improvement in quality of life on Brunstane Road as a result of the reduced level of traffic. However, during the period of closure, residents in the Coillesdene area noted an increase in traffic as drivers rerouted due to the closure of Brunstane Road. There were no reports of delays to emergency vehicles and the City of Edinburgh Council’s Waste and Cleansing team continued to deliver their service. 3.4 Since the reopening of Brunstane Road in late December 2019, a number of local residents have continued to lobby the Council to reintroduce the closure on a permanent basis. Local elected members asked that officers investigate these residents’ concerns with a view to exploring measures to discourage through traffic. 4. Main report 4.1 It is widely acknowledged that there are traffic problems on Brunstane Road. This is due to a variety of factors including the width of the carriageway, parking, traffic volumes and vehicle types. 4.2 A number of options have been explored to address the problems with the aim of substantially reducing or eliminating through traffic on Brunstane Road. The interventions considered were: 4.2.1 the closure of Brunstane Road to through vehicular traffic at the bridge over the East Coast Main Line, just north of Brunstane Gardens; 4.2.2 the installation of traffic signals at the bridge; 4.2.3 the removal of parking on Brunstane Road; and 4.2.4 making Brunstane Road one-way. 4.3 The closure of Brunstane Road at the railway bridge would address the issue of through traffic resulting in its use by only local traffic. However, it is acknowledged that any such closure could result in an increase in traffic volumes in adjacent residential streets thus this proposal would require to be promoted alongside measures within the Coillesdene area to mitigate the impact of any displaced traffic. 4.4 The installation of traffic signals on Brunstane Road, whilst potentially making the route less attractive due to increased journey times, would not adequately address the problems caused by through traffic, and was discounted on that basis. 4.5 Whilst the introduction of a one-way restriction would address the problem in part, there were concerns that this might result in an increase in vehicle speeds due to the perceived lack of any opposing traffic. However, due to the requirement to retain two-way access for cyclists this was considered to be a potential safety issue. 4.6 The most recent five-year injury accident data for Brunstane Road reveals that no injury accidents occurred during this period. This may be attributed to the slow speed of vehicles due to the carriageway width and volume of traffic, thus any change that could increase traffic speed would be undesirable. 3 4.7 Due to the residential nature of Brunstane Road and lack of off-street parking in the section between the railway bridge and Milton Road East, the removal of on-street parking to permit the installation of a contra-flow cycle lane should a one-way system for motor vehicles be introduced was not considered appropriate. It was felt that this would increase parking pressures on adjacent streets which are already heavily parked. It was for these reasons that the introduction of a one-way restriction or removal of on-street parking were rejected. 4.8 Thus, the preferred option is for the closure of the road to through traffic, retaining full access in both directions for pedestrians and cyclists, alongside mitigation measures in the Coillesdene area. 4.9 The Council’s Edinburgh Street Design Guidance categorises the city’s streets based on their location and use. As such Brunstane Road, Coillesdene Crescent, Coillesdene Gardens, Milton Drive, Milton Terrace, Eastfield Gardens and Coillesdene Avenue are identified as low-density residential streets with a local movement function. 4.10 In addition, the proposed measures align with current placemaking philosophies which take a people-centred approach to urban planning to promote health, happiness and well-being. The proposal encourages a safer environment for residents, pedestrians and cyclists. 4.11 Within the Coillesdene area it is envisaged that the restrictions would be implemented through the use of temporary infrastructure (planters/signing) to create a quiet neighbourhood. 4.12 In April 2017 the Council’s Development Management Sub-Committee granted permission for 1,330 homes on land to the south of Milton Road East. The proposed measures would address the impact of traffic generated by this development within the Joppa triangle area. 4.13 Public consultation was undertaken over a three-week period from 20 November 2020 to 13 December 2020. The results show that of 1,050 responses, 27.3% support the proposal and 72% do not support the proposal (seven respondents did not answer the question). 4.14 Of residents who indicated that they lived at a Brunstane Road postcode (147 responses), 84% (123 responses) were in favour of the proposal and 16% (24 responses) were not in favour of the proposal. This can be further broken down using the railway bridge as a natural boundary. Those residing between the south side of the bridge and Milton Road East were in favour of the proposal by a majority of 90% for (96 responses) and 10% against (11 responses). Those residing at the north side of the bridge were in favour of the proposal by a majority of 67.5% for (27 responses) and 32.5% against (13 responses). 4 4.15 Of residents who indicated that they lived at a Joppa Triangle postcode (excluding Brunstane Road) (295 responses), 18% (52 responses) were in favour of the proposal and 82% (241 responses) were not in favour of the proposal. Two respondents did not answer the question. The full breakdown is detailed in Appendix 4. 4.16 Feedback from the consultation (support/do not support) has been categorised into the following themes: 4.16.1 Those supporting the proposal have generally expressed the following: 4.16.1.1 There are longstanding traffic issues on Brunstane Road that need to be addressed. 4.16.1.2 The proposal will make it safer for residents and active travel users. 4.16.1.3 The road is unsuitable for large vehicles to use as a through route. 4.16.2 Those who do not support the proposal have generally expressed the following: 4.16.2.1 The proposal will move traffic problems elsewhere, increasing congestion and vehicle emissions. 4.16.2.2 Access to properties in the Coillesdene area is reduced. 4.16.2.3 It removes a key link for vehicles accessing Portobello and vice versa, including emergency services. 4.17 Extensive pre-closure traffic surveys have also been undertaken in the immediate and surrounding area, providing a base to measure any changes on the network should the closure of Brunstane Road be approved. The surveys show that approximately 1,800 vehicles per day currently use Brunstane Road. General vehicles account for 90% of the traffic, 7.2% are HGVs and 2.8% are two-wheel vehicles (i.e.

  • Ireland: an Island of Cultural Variety
    1 INTRODUCTION IRELAND: AN ISLAND OF CULTURAL VARIETY Throughout its history, Ulster, the northern province of Ireland, has been a place where many different peoples have left their influence. In the last millennium Vikings, Anglo-Normans, Huguenots, Moravians, Italians, Jews and many others have settled here. The strongest cultural influences, however, have been English, Irish and Scottish, a triple blend that has given Ulster its distinctive character. At the narrowest part, only 13 miles separate Ulster – Ireland’s northern province – and Scotland. The sea has been a bridge rather than a barrier. Almost 2 million people make the crossing by ferry every year. THREE NAMES FOR THE SAME PEOPLE Ulster-Scots, Scotch-Irish and Scots-Irish are three names for a people whose origins can be traced to Scotland. In Ulster, where they settled in large numbers in the 1600s, they are known as the Ulster-Scots. In America, they are known as the Scotch-Irish or Scots-Irish. All three terms have a long pedigree – the earliest recorded use of ‘Scotch-Irish’ can be found in Maryland in 1690. THE SCOTCH-IRISH AND AMERICA Over the centuries Scotch-Irish families have travelled to every corner of the globe in search of new lives and new opportunities. In the United States their influence has been huge and their legacy includes pioneers, presidents, military commanders, religious leaders, educators, philanthropists Only two names appear on the printed Declaration of Independence. and giants of industry and commerce. John Hancock is thought to have had County Down ancestry, while Charles Thomson was born in County Londonderry.

  • Brunstane Station I Would Like to Pick up an Issue I Tried to Raise in The
    Brunstane Station I would like to pick up an issue I tried to raise in the previous Community Council, but there were too many distractions at the time for it to receive serious attention. The headline issue is how large numbers of people can get to Portobello, but it also raises the question of the vision we have for the character and future of Portobello. My own wish is that Portobello should have lots of visitors – to enjoy the priceless amenity of the beach and Prom, as one of the most important of Edinburgh’s “lungs”, and also to support our local shops and other businesses. We don’t do a lot to advertise our attractions (Edinburgh is curiously neglectful of Porty), but even if we did, there remains the very significant problem of how people are to get here. When I raised this issue previously Cllr Walker said that there wasn’t a problem because the Beach is “mobbed” on hot days – but we had a fantastic Summer in 2013, and the Beach was never “mobbed”. There were huge expanses of empty sand, while in the ‘glory days’ people had to queue up until they could get a vacant spot on the Beach… The transport options are: • Car: there is hardly anywhere to park, and our streets are anyway clogged up with residents’ cars; anyone coming to Porty by car will carry on to East Lothian. • Bus: we have a great bus service, but it’s painfully slow (it can take as long to get through Porty as it then takes to get all the way in to Edinburgh), and it doesn’t cope well with big increases in demand (such as on hot Sundays).
