They didn't get planning permission in time to do it with the rest of the path, and can only do the work in the autumn due to badgers living nearby. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=18657#post-277500 Thu, 15 Mar 2018 14:06:16 +0000 Trixie 277500@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>@amir, @Frenchy seemed to have info that the access ramp is due to happen later in the year. Something about disturbing badgers. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=18657#post-277496 Thu, 15 Mar 2018 13:55:48 +0000 chdot 277496@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>“Which is not a bad thing, but smaller, non match funded schemes are delayed.</p> <p>And yes the staffing issue...”</p> <p>Sure, but much money, over many years, has been spent on consultants - particularly to design stuff.</p> <p>Which is fine as an extra ‘help out’, but has become a way of shadow staffing, which can’t be cost effective. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=18657#post-277495 Thu, 15 Mar 2018 13:54:08 +0000 gembo 277495@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>yes slow, i am expressing my delight but also my surprise that these things have finally happened. however, i am celebrating they have happened. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=18657#post-277492 Thu, 15 Mar 2018 13:31:48 +0000 crowriver 277492@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>"Well it’s not like there’s no money/budget."</p> <p>Except that much of that is now going into match funding large prestige Sustrans funded schemes.

Many smaller schemes delayed by lack of staff and re-prioritisation of resources to deliver large prestige Community Links + funded schemes.</p> <p>On the positive side, lots of "shovel ready" schemes ready to spring into action as soon as resources allow.....which as we know, is the way to get things done (eventually). </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=18657#post-277487 Thu, 15 Mar 2018 13:25:41 +0000 chdot 277487@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>“</p> <p>I see finalisation of Porty to Leith is in the hold bucket; but when this is back active can we first consider the route?

Not new to many and indeed thy are routes I used to use but changed from. </p> <p>So - fantastic routes now around Murrayfield then up the beside the tram</p> <p>also </p> <p>lovely pebbles all the way nearly down the hell that was Chesser Ave (this was early doors so not sure what the drivers do given they have lost a lane to pebbles)?</p> <p>then on NEPN (not even new to me but I am rejoicing) then through Vicky park</p> <p>Then after my meeting , skipped to Casa Amiga for the pastels de nata then used the leith walk cycle way which was great. Obviously it ends then it degenerates into madness at John Lewis but in fact even in the madness there is a cycle way where the cars can't go</p> <p>Well done City of Edinburgh Council, keep up the good work </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=18657#post-277472 Thu, 15 Mar 2018 12:40:47 +0000 HankChief 277472@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>In response to a question from Cllr Booth, all the current projects have been detailed.
