A reminder that roadworks for a new road layout in the city centre which will create a bus priority route are to start TOMORROW. The new layout will reduce travel times for buses to encourage more people to use sustainable or active travel. More info 👉 orlo.uk/zDHNB

@kennyeaston2 @AberdeenCC @IanYuill @Christia_Allard It's just the start of what will hopefully be a citywide network - you have to start somewhere.

@aberdeenCF @AberdeenCC @IanYuill @Christia_Allard I get that you’re trying to encourage people in those categories to get cycling but do you really think the middle of Union Street is the best place to do that? How are they going to get their bikes there in the 1st place?

Plans for a segregated cycle path on central Union Street in Aberdeen just approved by council. Well done @AberdeenCC @IanYuill @Christia_Allard 👏👏👏👏

@kennyeaston2 @AberdeenCC @IanYuill @Christia_Allard This isn't for the people who already cycle- it's for all the people who want to cycle but are too afraid to cycle in traffic: children, elderly, people with disabilities, women (who tend to be more risk-averse than men) etc. It makes cycling accessible for everyone.

@aberdeenCF @AberdeenCC @IanYuill @Christia_Allard It doesn’t really matter whether there’s a segregated cycle lane of not cyclists just cycle where they please…….if they are stuck at lights they go through them or jump on the pavement…..whats the point in wasting money given them lanes they barely use?

An updated design for incorporating buses and a segregated cycle lane for the entire length of Union Street as part of the City Centre Masterplan was today agreed by a council committee. More information is at orlo.uk/Utqa3

Great to see these proposals for a segregated cycle path on the central section of Union Street in Aberdeen.

THREAD: Thousands of plastic sewage filters have been washing up along the River Ythan, from #Ellon to #Newburgh. @C_BDingwall and I shot a short film to reveal the true extent of the pollution. Wee preview on this tweet, full @pressjournal video here: pressandjournal.co.uk/fp/news/enviro…

@cycling_person We have not heard that but it's what we've been advocating for. I hope you're right!

I’m hearing that there will be a dedicate cycle lane the full length of Union Street this year @aberdeenCF.
