The Council's Plan

As we all know, the council has no intention of taking active measures towards the already horrific levels of traffic coming through Musselburgh.
Here are a few of their potential that have filtered through to u:

Plan A:

Plan A

I think this is the more likely plan. It will help those at the west section of Inveresk Road from the junction with Dalrymple to the existing bollards. This will get rid of the Tescos parkers but may increase the numbers parking for the health centre. It will eliminate most of the dangers inherent at the junction of Dalrymple Loan and Inveresk Road.
It will not tackle the unsustainable levels of traffic wending their way through the rest of Inveresk/Dalrymple which is going to increase in coming years.
The MOVA traffic lights system will be installed to help increase the traffic flow.

 Plan B:

Plan B

This plan was mooted by a well kent councilor.  It is designed to accommodate an ever increasing load of traffic on Inveresk/Dalrymple. Again, the idea that traffic should be reduced rather than increased seems to be a laughable notion in the transport department.
This particular plan may have sounded good at the golf club bar but...

Plan C:

Plan C

This option is, in all truthfulness, the one most indicative of the detachment of the council's thinking
and any reality. This option should have been kept locked in a box at transport HQ and the councilor who proclaimed it as a valid future development should have been fitted with a mute button.
There are so many things wrong with the idea of opening up Inveresk Road in this manner that I believe it to be a red herring: the council acquiesce to the demands of residents to appear conciliatory and 'listening' whilst they quietly increase the traffic burden on the adjacent roads.
