For example, do I dislike the street because there is too much parking or too little? Or that I think the design of the parking provision is good or bad?</p> <p>Without filling in the "additional comments" box on every single question then I think you could draw almost any conclusion you want from this survey. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=12771#post-152510 Thu, 08 May 2014 12:42:30 +0000 neddie 152510@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Anyone spot the lampposts in the cycle track on #23? </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=12771#post-152493 Thu, 08 May 2014 11:10:46 +0000 acsimpson 152493@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Does the NEPN appear on Edinburgh council's list of adopted streets?</p> <p>I've just answered my own question:<br /> <a href="http://www.edinburgh.gov.uk/directory/120/list_of_public_roads_in_edinburgh">list_of_public_roads_in_edinburgh</a>. So my answer is now Roseburn Path.</p> <p>Strangely the link I found in another thread now points to information about voting. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=12771#post-152483 Thu, 08 May 2014 10:35:33 +0000 bruce_mcadam 152483@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I also put MMW as my favourite street (the design manual defines 'no frontage' streets as a type of street, but seems to suggest they prioritise motor traffic and MMW is a good counterexample). </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=12771#post-152477 Thu, 08 May 2014 10:10:33 +0000 Coxy 152477@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>The questionnare can be tackled without reading the report. The first half is a selection of "comment about this road in the picture" type pages. Half way through you are given the option to bail-out when it gets to the bit to comment on the report. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=12771#post-152470 Thu, 08 May 2014 09:29:46 +0000 robyvecchio 152470@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I have answered MMW. It counts as a street I think </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=12771#post-152465 Thu, 08 May 2014 08:45:35 +0000 wingpig 152465@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Don't start it until you've had a good think on "What is your favourite street in Edinburgh and why?" </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=12771#post-152464 Thu, 08 May 2014 08:43:50 +0000 cc 152464@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Thanks. Far too big for me to read at the moment but I see that they reference both the Sustrans Design Manual (boo) and two editions of the CROW manual (hooray). </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=12771#post-152444 Wed, 07 May 2014 22:49:30 +0000 Coxy 152444@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Sorry if this has been mentioned elsewhere.</p> <p><a href="http://www.edinburgh.gov.uk/streetdesign" rel="nofollow">http://www.edinburgh.gov.uk/streetdesign</a> </p>
