If nothing has happened in a month, fill it in again or write to a councillor (there'll be some especially keen and eager ones arriving soon).</p> <p>You might find a website such as fixmystreet.com helpful. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=17685#post-248498 Tue, 02 May 2017 10:24:14 +0000 qwerty 248498@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Hi,</p> <p>Long-time reader, new poster.<br /> I regularly commute into the city centre by bike and there are a couple of chunks of my commute which are along fairly cruddy surfaces - specifically, surfaces that were once fine but have been made much worse in the last year due to construction works/etc in the area.</p> <p>Two examples:</p> <p>The <strong>Meggetland View path going from Slateford Train Station</strong> - worsening, very uneven ped/cycling shared surfaces with lots of crap on there from the building work on the sports complex</p> <p><strong>Travelling Westbound at Fountainpark</strong> (what's with the uneven/unpainted "cycling lane" which just stops into a kind of ramp thing, and forces a pointed merge with cars outside of Kwik Fit?!).</p> <p>Both of these surfaces are getting a lot worse over time and (judging by the construction works) there isn't going to be a decent road surface put back in place any time soon.</p> <p>I've just submitted the Edinburgh Council 'report a problem' form but is there anything else the forum folk here could recommend? </p>
