Neither a good experience, which is a pity as it is a nice direct run through to Fountainbridge. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=2044#post-21603 Sun, 16 Jan 2011 20:57:28 +0000 gembo 21603@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Laidback - you are right - ~Grassmarket - Cowgate is my preferred route to Waverley Court when I have a meeting scheduled in that lovely building - it is normally a decent road to cycle. I have not been through it at night for many years but as I recollect I didn't like it as too many drunks in too small a space so again good move to give them more room. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=2044#post-21600 Sun, 16 Jan 2011 19:04:13 +0000 LaidBack 21600@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Grassmarket has been a success though. Cars are now at the fringes. Drunk people now have more space! </p> <p>Actually I like it and even walk Max through there.</p> <p>Drivers can still drive through when bollards are down or broken but they do this slowly as elsewhere in Europe. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=2044#post-21588 Sun, 16 Jan 2011 11:27:52 +0000 gembo 21588@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>what chance banning cars from the city centre? This apparently is normal in some European cities but it is only fringe types like us who think this is a good idea in Edinburgh. Depends where you align yourself on the continent - Edinburgh seems to be more linked to Athens where the drivers get round the ban on driving by having two sets of number plates - one for Mon/Wed/Fri and the other for Tues/Thurs/Sun </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=2044#post-21585 Sat, 15 Jan 2011 22:49:31 +0000 chdot 21585@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>"<br /> Edinburgh’s City Centre Neighbourhood Partnership [ECCNP] is developing a new ‘community plan’ for the area, and seeks the views of anyone who “lives, works, studies in, or visits, the city centre” … </p> <p>"</p> <p><a href="http://www.spokes.org.uk/wordpress/2011/01/edinburgh-city-centre-survey/" rel="nofollow">http://www.spokes.org.uk/wordpress/2011/01/edinburgh-city-centre-survey/</a> </p>
