The artist's impression showed Sauchiehall Street at the Beresford Hotel* and proper continuous crossings of side roads such as Elmbank St.</p> <p>The one third party comment quoted in the article was from the RNIB who (are presumably against it, and who) say blind and partially sighted people will have to cross the cycle lane, which would be separated by a kerb, presumably from the footway. No counter argument given in support of the infrastructure.</p> <p>* Very deco. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=11717&page=2#post-249467 Tue, 09 May 2017 11:17:23 +0000 emuir 249467@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Hmmm, it could be the memes :p I have checked to see if the VPS IP is blacklisted from previous use, and it's not. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=11717&page=2#post-248815 Thu, 04 May 2017 21:14:03 +0000 i 248815@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Hmm, interesting.
