Cyclists also possible. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=12505#post-147683 Thu, 03 Apr 2014 17:55:47 +0000 chdot 147683@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>The rain went away so I went for a wander. </p> <p>This is the chain I remember from years ago (Ronaldson’s Wharf) -</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/chdot/13602031093/"><img src="https://farm3.staticflickr.com/2894/13602031093_54e2f04c1a.jpg"></a></p> <p>If you can't see it, imagine it's night time...</p> <p><em>However</em> I did find some planters, but not until I crossed the main road. </p> <p>'Problem' would seem to be Sandport rather than Sandport Place!</p> <p>Though it may well not be a through public route!</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/chdot/13602538644/"><img src="https://farm3.staticflickr.com/2910/13602538644_86a6d4d9f9.jpg"></a></p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/chdot/13604077075/"><img src="https://farm3.staticflickr.com/2898/13604077075_ce49140c7c.jpg"></a></p> <p>To the left of the pillars is a gap where people can go left or right -</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/chdot/13602179295"><img src="https://farm8.staticflickr.com/7299/13602179295_8854c253e8.jpg"></a></p> <p>So the planters are creating a very minor diversion. </p> <p>The red dashed lines here -</p> <p><a href="http://www.cyclestreets.net/journey/39885430"><img src="https://farm8.staticflickr.com/7411/13605519845_2d1595ca45.jpg"></a></p> <p>are all accessible and <em>may</em> be all private - certainly the route through the flats will be. </p> <p>I don't if these signs are against the spirit or letter of the law -</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/chdot/13602264275/"><img src="https://farm4.staticflickr.com/3743/13602264275_9ac7c3a9f4.jpg"></a></p> <p>I didn't see any restriction signs going anti-clockwise around the waterline -</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/chdot/13602543414/"><img src="https://farm8.staticflickr.com/7190/13602543414_3b5e8f72f0.jpg"></a> </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=12505#post-147616 Thu, 03 Apr 2014 12:30:29 +0000 gembo 147616@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Does go right past their windows of course, so I can see their point too, though I have cycled there as the chain is easy to get over. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=12505#post-147614 Thu, 03 Apr 2014 12:27:58 +0000 DaveC 147614@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>But Styles and Kissing gates are ok??</p> <p>Oh well, I see your point, as its an inner city path. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=12505#post-147610 Thu, 03 Apr 2014 12:11:47 +0000 EddieD 147610@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Chains would be regarded as a barrier as they prevent access to disabled folk, which I believe is a very very big no-no... </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=12505#post-147597 Thu, 03 Apr 2014 11:48:29 +0000 DaveC 147597@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p><em>"The Residents Association were asked to remove the barrier and the sign. .

Do rights of access legislation provide for peds only, so chains are not regarded as a barrier? </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=12505#post-147576 Thu, 03 Apr 2014 10:12:00 +0000 chdot 147576@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>From recent Access Forum minutes -</p> <p>"<br /> In 2009 the core path at the Water of Leith had been blocked and a ‘no entry’ sign installed. The Residents Association were asked to remove the barrier and the sign. . However, planters and a further sign at the access gate had since been installed creating a barrier to access. An update would be provided at the next Forum meeting.</p> <p>"</p> <p>I presume this is the section on the west side of the WoL that goes to Commercial Wharf/Street. Probably just right of this photo -</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/chdot/13446971905/"><img src="https://farm4.staticflickr.com/3686/13446971905_fb95ec24c2.jpg"></a></p> <p>Anyone know if there are still chains/gates/planters in the way? </p>
