There was a proposal last year to demolish it to help with flood prevention. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=18437#post-268885 Wed, 06 Dec 2017 12:45:25 +0000 Frenchy 268885@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>The barriers on the footbridge make it more difficult than it should be to cycle across. I don't imagine it's much fun for disabled pedestrians or wheelchair users either.</p> <p>Some collapsible bollards on the electric bridge seems like a cheap move which would remove a lot of conflict from the footbridge. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=18437#post-268883 Wed, 06 Dec 2017 12:34:55 +0000 Cyclingmollie 268883@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Thanks for that ch. Frenchy I'm not aware that anything more is proposed for the bridge than to open it up for race days. It would be difficult to make a case for pedestrian and cycle use when there's a footbridge alongside it. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=18437#post-268819 Tue, 05 Dec 2017 21:53:13 +0000 Frenchy 268819@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Has there ever been a move to permanently open the Electric Bridge to cyclists/pedestrians, by installing collapsible bollards instead of gates? </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=18437#post-268814 Tue, 05 Dec 2017 21:44:33 +0000 chdot 268814@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Not new, but don’t think it has been on here before.
