Could quite achievably have a direct path on the other side of the railway.</p> <p>@fisherknit Direct path? Not really it floods under both bridges - could be fixed?</p> <p>@talkporty sure, rough paths would need brought up to std, drainage etc, but possibility of a really good cycle path</p> <p>@talkporty like this... (NCN1 through Musselburgh)<br /> <a href="http://talkporty.org/hosted/better-ncn1-mussy.jpg"><img src="http://talkporty.org/hosted/better-ncn1-mussy-small.jpg"></a></p> <p>@fisherknit This is a better route if some work done. You can use very rough path now.</p> <p>@talkporty yeah, I would normally use the rough paths from QMU to the bridge coming out at Monktonhall Pl; but muddy!</p> <p>‏@fisherknit Bit to right of question mark could do with review as existing path from red word "many" is probably better</p> <p>@talkporty yeah, except for the B6415 "joke-a-bout" - high speed roundabout, not cycle friendly at all</p> <p>@fisherknit Very true - needs to be made safe for pedestrians as well as cyclists</p> <p><em>(apologies, but bad image tags seem to have left the last attempt at this thread in a zombie state!)</em> </p>
