At end I get off and wheel across pedestrian crossing then round to the cut through, takes me to cluny. Then on to sports day at the wonderful st crispin's special school where I won a bottle of Italian wine in the tombla. A mixture of primitivo and negroamaro grapes. Called, and I am loving this Il Brutto</p> <p>The top Tarmac is being fixed for sure. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=16570#post-223710 Tue, 21 Jun 2016 16:05:43 +0000 Chug 223710@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I've always thought that Greenbank Drive east of Morningside Grove is some of the nicest tarmac in south Edinburgh - very smooth. I think this is because it is protected from frost as it's 90% under trees and also it's not a bus route.</p> <p>However, west of Morningside Grove and up to Greenbank Hospital, the surface is awful. This is where the work seems to be concentrated at the moment. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=16570#post-223707 Tue, 21 Jun 2016 15:38:15 +0000 cb 223707@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>According to the <a href="http://edinburgh.cdmf.info/public/disruptions/list.htm">council's disruptions page</a> the work that has started on Greenbank Drive (three months of "Lane closures, parking restrictions and temporary traffic lights as required") is for "Carriageway reconstruction".</p> <p>Sounds fairly major - more than just resurfacing?</p> <p>Was it in a bad way? I've been that way a few times recently (on foot, on the pavement) and don't recall anything too awful.</p> <p>I wonder if they will make the junction with Greenbank Lane a little more pedestrian friendly - drivers often fairly whizz into that road from the mini roundabout.</p> <p>I'm guessing that Craiglockhart Road and the Greenbank rat run is taking more traffic than usual due to the Comiston Road works so I was surprised to see these two works run with such a long overlap. </p>
