For comparison the active travel budget for the *entire country* is £220m/a.

It's long past time for @transcotland
to redirect funding for climate emergency era obsolete road schemes like the M8, A9 & Sherriffhall to sustainable modes.

A short history of M8 Wooodside project costs:

*Year* *Cost* *Completion*
Sep 21 £35m Late 23
May 23 £100m Late 24
July 24 £152m Early 26

That’s a >400% rise in costs over a three year period.

Agree: Its definitely not either or!

The CPs finalised networks have been much more heavily discussed & properly integrated with other workstreams & modes than the tram work & as such
are likely to be much more definitive (than an offhand paragraph in the tram report)

Happily, the CP cycle network plan shows the whole Roseburn NEPN corridor being retained as part of the 'secondary cycle network'.
