Great news. Defeats the ‘No one cycles in #Edinburgh narrative”
Ideas:
📍Zone extended to SW Edinburgh!
🅿️ use parking spaces too instead of only larger pavements (many more docking areas and be better for pedestrians)
🚲 more bikes allowed in parking zones (eg Waverley) where the is loads of space

George Street. Stockbridge. The Shore.
Pipe dream:
Integrate it with tap tap cap ticketing on buses and trams (no chance!)

See North Berwick this week - where locals have vandalised parking meters and proclaimed the death of the high street because parking charges were introduced. But inevitably the sky won’t fall in.
Variations of the scheme below could be Stockbridge, Gorgie, The Shore or Bruntsfield.

When the pilot was first announced, opposition was fierce. Protesters famously carried a coffin through Clifton Village, symbolising the “death” of the area if car parking and access was restricted. Yet the local council proceeded, and as the months passed, the feared collapse failed to materialise.
