Are they actually stopping people to ask questions or doing some sort of count? </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=16263#post-216574 Thu, 14 Apr 2016 10:40:05 +0000 chdot 216574@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>"</p> <p>John Lauder (@John_Lauder)<br /> 14/04/2016, 10:37 am<br /> @SRDorman @SustransScot @CyclingEdin @LAHinds Yes, it was a subcontractor, not observing contract.

From a distance it looked like a stolen and abandoned car.<br /> Seemed pretty daft. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=16263#post-216572 Thu, 14 Apr 2016 10:15:17 +0000 Min 216572@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p><em>*speechless*</em> </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=16263#post-216571 Thu, 14 Apr 2016 10:03:18 +0000 SRD 216571@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Thanks for this Davidsonsdave - too horrible. Chdot and I have both tweeted. No reply yet from sustrans. presumably they 'outsourced' the survey? can only desperately hope that no one who actually works for them would be idiotic enough to do this. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=16263#post-216560 Thu, 14 Apr 2016 09:25:02 +0000 panyagua 216560@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Yes, I saw that. If I hadn't been hurrying to work I would have stopped and asked why they felt the need to bring a car onto the path. What kind of signal does that send out? Given the only people likely to have time to fill in questionnaires at 8.20 in the morning are more likely to be walking dogs than heading to work, I fear the results may not reflect the views of the cycling community very accurately. I hope I'm wrong. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=16263#post-216557 Thu, 14 Apr 2016 09:20:49 +0000 davidsonsdave 216557@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Did anyone else balk when they saw the sustrans survey taking place on the Roseburn Path this morning? It was less than 100m away from a road where one could park a car.<img src="https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/106112457/IMG_20160414_082328.jpg"> </p>
