There's a fairly nasty hole where a manhole cover should be, approx 1 k east of Kirkliston. Have reported and hopefully it'll be seen as a priority.</p> <p><a href="https://photos.app.goo.gl/QBbUQ5Qv9Q5JZS4x9"><img src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/cWeGhybpo5vDy9DTNYzQ4DLq2DLB1c48iPXResYnVJvcaSdv6ginhw-fhLLGJncwHziu1IzcqH02ZINV6xZSIW7i2TR1CGb5EhWSy5LBn_6oIWpJZQ0qfsCBm5Li9opAzMoKjvgkvQQ=w573-h763-no"></a></p> <p>[Admin edit: have fixed the photo link] </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=14739#post-187149 Tue, 28 Apr 2015 11:43:14 +0000 cc 187149@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>An artist has found <a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2015/04/27/artist-penis-potholes-wanksy_n_7149810.html">an effective way to get potholes fixed</a>.<br /> (NSFW) </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=14746#post-187186 Tue, 28 Apr 2015 18:59:06 +0000 unhurt 187186@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p><em>ETA: I swear I looked to see if anyone had already posted this - but somehow my eyes slipped right over the word Manchester, right there in recent topics.

Greener Leith blog post on it here: </p> <p><a href="http://www.greenerleith.org/greener-leith-news/2010/3/9/fix-my-tweet.html">http://www.greenerleith.org/greener-leith-news/2010/3/9/fix-my-tweet.html</a></p> <p>Would be interested to hear if any others use it, and what you think of it. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=85#post-217 Tue, 24 Nov 2009 23:40:40 +0000 Matchstickwarrior 217@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Just lately, it seemd CEC has decided to patch up some of the slightlier busier roads in the capital.<br /> Some work has been done on the eastbound bus lane on Corstorphine Rd, which was lovely and smooth until they put back the coloured surfacing - why are the old lanes so smooth and the new ones so bumpy?</p> <p>And on Calder Road there seems to have been some extensive "patching" work, but has anyone noticed that in a few areas the "repairs" seem in some way to have maintained the presence of the holes they were supposed to cover?</p> <p>Need I mention the lack of a reinstatement of the cycle lane on the soon-to-be-opened (maybe) section of Princes St?</p> <p>Anyone else noticed some dodgy repairs where the council thinks no one will notice? </p>
