Whilst there have been undoubted problems with cycle lane detailed design, the overall results in terms of council objectives, have been very positive. First, rather than tramlines deterring cycling as happens in Princes Street, the separated bike lanes contributed to major increases in bike use9. Perhaps even more important, not only have bike/tramline crashes and injuries been all but eliminated, but, despite common perceptions, Leith Walk pedestrian casualties have also fallen drastically - see the bluesky post below from Edward Tissiman. The reasons for this are not known but, given that virtually all pedestrian injuries result from motor vehicles, we speculate that crucial factors are the separation of pedestrians from the carriageway by the cycle lanes, and safer road crossings due to the ban on kerbside parking.

![Trams from Granton to the Edinburgh BioQuarter / Royal Infirmary of Edinburgh and Beyond Strategic Business Case
CEC Transport & Environment Committee 10.9.26, agenda item 7.61
Written deputation from Spokes
Exec Summary
[2 below] A big lesson from the Leith Walk section of the Newhaven extension is that separated bike lanes can bring significant pedestrian casualty reduction, in addition to preventing cyclist tramline crashes. A lesson from Foot of Walk to Ocean Terminal is that parallel cycleroutes (to avoid tramlined roads where segregation is not possible) must be integrated into the tram project, or risk years of delay after the start of tram operation.
[3 below] There is very strong Spokes membership support for a northern extension, but with roughly equal differing views on which of the two options it should use, or whether both are acceptable. For both route options, there remain substantial disadvantages to safe and/or enjoyable cycling, which will need to be addressed to the maximum extent possible if either option goes ahead.
[4 below] The southern route, which is now likely to be the Council immediate priority, and is heavily used by cyclists, presents extreme difficulties in ensuring safe cycling. We argue for single track running for the Bridges section, and segregated bike lanes south of St Patrick Square – the latter hopefully bringing the same casualty avoidance benefits seen by both pedestrians and cyclists on the fairly similar Leith Walk.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:2ood4k4wojq5jku2zl3myqco/bafkreihzl4pbf6sa5visfkshbbbhedhgbs6kv7propy2jpr7bcucd52nwm)
