These days, I presume the police just bump over the obstructing kerb?<br /> Classic example of failing to consider not-cars when they replaced the bollards...would a 1 metre gap in the middle have been so hard to do? </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=10736#post-118470 Thu, 18 Jul 2013 12:00:54 +0000 Arellcat 118470@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p><em>Isn't that bolted down with hex-head bolts? shouldn't be too difficult to remove a few feet of it at either end.</em></p> <p>Bonded and bolted, usually.</p> <p>This was the view nearly a year ago:</p> <p><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/chdot/7977456825/"><img src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8311/7977456825_43dc512fb6.jpg"></a><br /> <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/chdot/7977456825/">Time this was sorted</a> </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=10736#post-118443 Thu, 18 Jul 2013 10:40:41 +0000 Coxy 118443@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Well - if it's coned off, perhaps sopmething is about to be done to it? </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=10736#post-118432 Thu, 18 Jul 2013 10:09:24 +0000 DaveC 118432@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>You may be able to remove a few but remember the police station is just up the street and they park along there so would very likely see you.
