It would seem like a good time to do it. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=14957#post-217947 Tue, 26 Apr 2016 16:03:30 +0000 HankChief 217947@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Just been tweeted by the local SNP Cllr that Lochend Rd will be resurfaced starting 9th May.</p> <p>It will be closed for 2 weeks, but I'm sure we can put up with that to get it sorted. :-) </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=14957#post-190793 Thu, 11 Jun 2015 19:42:52 +0000 HankChief 190793@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Following the success of Gogar Station Road, there was a wondering of what next within my works regular cyclists.</p> <p>Lochend Rd between Newbridge and Kirkliston was picked as being well overdue some repairs and hopefully the full GSR treatment. It's very similar - narrow, windy, heavy peak traffic and appalling surface. Oh and a good link for cyclists getting to the A8 cyclepath from Kirky, SQ or the FRB.</p> <p><a href="https://flic.kr/p/uvYnRg"><img src="https://c1.staticflickr.com/1/562/18717167661_4b5ac11784_z.jpg"></a><a href="https://flic.kr/p/uvYnRg">Lochend road</a> by <a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/91842878@N03/">HankChief</a>, on Flickr</p> <p><a href="https://flic.kr/p/utrgNU"><img src="https://c1.staticflickr.com/1/362/18688465876_49ecec69bb_z.jpg"></a><a href="https://flic.kr/p/utrgNU">Lochend road</a> by <a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/91842878@N03/">HankChief</a>, on Flickr</p> <p><a href="https://flic.kr/p/uvkcQj"><img src="https://c1.staticflickr.com/1/453/18709914822_b7b77371f9_z.jpg"></a><a href="https://flic.kr/p/uvkcQj">Lochend road</a> by <a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/91842878@N03/">HankChief</a>, on Flickr</p> <p>Several bits of nagging later and whilst it isn't getting the full GSR treatment we have got this positive response.</p> <p><em>We have recently carried out a detailed inspection of Lochend Road and recognise that the current rough condition of the road would be felt more by cyclists than drivers. As such, we will prepare a schedule for local resurfacing repairs and hope to be in a position to appoint a surfacing contractor later in the summer months. I can not confirm the scope of repairs as yet, but hope to be in a position to resurface the worst local sections as necessary.<br /> </em></p> <p>Great to see them CEC getting that Road surface matters to cyclists. </p>
