If bus traffic makes full lane reduction impossible, they’re eyeing George Street’s partial pedestrianization as a workaround, allowing buses to shift routes and freeing up space. The goal? A unified vision for both streets that prioritizes pedestrians, cyclists, and public transport over cars — rejecting outdated plans that still treat Princes Street like a “big bus station.” They argue traffic can adapt with just one lane per direction, citing existing examples, and warn that focusing on one street at the expense of another misses the bigger picture.
