Pelican to Puffin in Pleasance

The Pelican crossing outside the Deaconess and Kirk o Field Church in the Pleasance is due to be changed into a Puffin crossing. The Puffin doesn't have the flashing amber lights and is designed to give pedestrians more time to cross. As well as giving more time for pedestrians it will slow down traffic - putting more exhaust fumes into the atmosphere. The work should take place over the next five weeks.
