I've not seen any so far. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=15692#post-203027 Wed, 28 Oct 2015 20:54:52 +0000 HankChief 203027@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Oooh. That dropped kerb is exciting news...they do happen.</p> <p>In other dropped kerb news, I've heard that East Craigs' Dropped Kerb Programme is due to be complete by the end of the year. Not sure how comprehensive it will be, but it will certainly be welcomed as EC is bereft of them as they obviously weren't in favour in the sixties.</p> <p>I've still got quite a few others that are on my nagging list with the council, though... </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=15692#post-202981 Wed, 28 Oct 2015 16:15:55 +0000 davidsonsdave 202981@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>@chdot - indeed. I think the last bout of talk and no action was 2(?) years ago when a cyclist was nearly garrotted by someone putting up a wire/rope. I seem to recall many local councillors were to look into installing lighting and tarmacing. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=15692#post-202975 Wed, 28 Oct 2015 15:24:37 +0000 chdot 202975@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>"Also talk of improving the link path from Tescos to the Drylaw path"</p> <p>There's been "talk" for more than 20 years. </p> <p>Conversations used to include 'we don't know who owns it'. </p> <p>Both Safeway (then) and the council claimed it was the other!</p> <p>I think it was firmly established that it was the council. That was before Sustrans chose a parallel route for the NCN. </p> <p>Clearly all too much trouble to sort out tarmacing a route to a 'major destination'. </p> <p>Bizarre really. </p> <p>And CEC says it wants to encourage ActiveTravel. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=15692#post-202969 Wed, 28 Oct 2015 15:04:10 +0000 Snowy 202969@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I went along that link path in the dark the other night. Fairly dire. Improvement would be very welcome! </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=15692#post-202964 Wed, 28 Oct 2015 14:34:13 +0000 559 202964@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Drop down kerb at Davidsons Mains park at East Barnton Avenue, very welcome.</p> <p>Also talk of improving the link path from Tescos to the Drylaw path </p>
