As if made by a company called Bollard’s. Note the Ls are also the shape of bollards. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=20107#post-323451 Thu, 27 Feb 2020 14:18:38 +0000 SRD 323451@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Nooooo! </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=20107#post-323437 Thu, 27 Feb 2020 12:05:02 +0000 CycleAlex 323437@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>The bollards on the High Street and Grassmarket were repaired and working yesterday (no doubt at significant cost). As of ten minutes ago, one set is already broken...</p> <p><a href="https://twitter.com/avgeekalex/status/1232980999409192960?s=21" rel="nofollow">https://twitter.com/avgeekalex/status/1232980999409192960?s=21</a> </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=16469#post-221715 Wed, 01 Jun 2016 17:47:49 +0000 crowriver 221715@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Yep. If any folk from the Councils roads dept. are reading, try looking at the 'bollards' thread for a few ideas on how to prevent paving slabs adjacent to roads getting all broken... </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=16469#post-221709 Wed, 01 Jun 2016 16:45:11 +0000 Wilmington's Cow 221709@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I like the 'look' of paving slabs, but yeah, tarmac is a little easier to deal with.</p> <p>In any event they really should be looking at the (elephant sized and obvious) reason the slabs are being broken (as pointed out by crowriver) and, I dunno, try prevention rather than cure? </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=16469#post-221708 Wed, 01 Jun 2016 16:31:58 +0000 Min 221708@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I hate those stupid paving slabs the council insist on. They fall to bits in short order after being fitted and turn into grease as soon as it rains. Why not just tarmac them? </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=16469#post-221704 Wed, 01 Jun 2016 15:49:27 +0000 crowriver 221704@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Yeah the Picardy Place slabs are a disgrace - and also further up on Leith Street/Calton Road. All caused by lorries and vans parking up on the pavement of course. Those essential deliveries of soft drinks and beer must get through with the minimum amount of walking and carrying by drivers, you know! </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=16469#post-221630 Wed, 01 Jun 2016 10:59:17 +0000 chdot 221630@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>"</p> <p>BROKEN pavements have seen Rose Street and Picardy Place named as accident hotspots after more than 200 people were hurt tripping on city footpaths in the last two and a half years.</p> <p>"</p> <p><a href="http://www.edinburghnews.scotsman.com/our-region/edinburgh/edinburgh-s-broken-pavements-result-in-77k-in-injury-payouts-1-4143029" rel="nofollow">http://www.edinburghnews.scotsman.com/our-region/edinburgh/edinburgh-s-broken-pavements-result-in-77k-in-injury-payouts-1-4143029</a> </p>
