(I.e. Templeton Rd/Featherhall Av, Clermiston Rd/Station Rd).  </p> <p>Kaimes Road to Traquair Alley is a similar dogleg route.  If it could be connected by a toucan and a bit of shared use pavement, this would make a big help in connecting the Pinkhill railway with the quiet streets to the North of the A8.</p> <p>We'll see what they say... </p>
