Pontin St, Diggers, Shandon, Roberts Av all missing crossings.</p> <p>Fountainbridge / Dundee Street - wide road with plenty space for segregated cycle route along corridor. </p> <p>Fountainbridge - been marked out for resurfacing many times but never happened. Loads of potholes. </p> <p>Yeamen Place / Dundee Street - dangerous junction</p> <p>Yeamen Place - access to canal</p> <p>Fountainbridge / Lochrin - need better connection to planned Meadows link</p> <p>Meggetgate - building works about to start - safe access for cyclists and pedestrians to Meggetland?</p> <p>Tesco Meggetland - constant pavement parking on double yellows </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=17714#post-249140 Fri, 05 May 2017 20:35:45 +0000 chdot 249140@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Fountainbridge / Craiglockhart ward 9 - Council elections 2017 </p> <p>Candidates (bold indicates sitting councillors)</p> <p><strong>Gavin CORBETT </strong>(Scottish Green Party, <a href="mailto:gavin.corbett@scottishgreens.org.uk">gavin.corbett@scottishgreens.org.uk</a>, @gavincorbett, Facebook page, website): responded.
