It <a href="https://goo.gl/maps/xyRQiQBfCuHppeZg9">spits people out</a> into a hostile interchange, with no real onward cycle/walking route - certainly not one that would be used by all the charming children pictured in the publicity photos.</p> <p>This is exactly what we shouldn't be building, its expensive, over-engineered, off-street, remote, and not part of any coherent network. It does however tick the boxes of "green crap done" and "motorists not inconvenienced". </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=20896#post-359257 Wed, 30 Mar 2022 17:28:57 +0000 neddie 359257@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>All while ignoring the elephant in the room which is the massive dual-carriageway severing neighbourhoods and the car-based retail development that the new bike path now connects (why didn't they connect it with a bike path when it was first built?) </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=20896#post-359255 Wed, 30 Mar 2022 15:24:28 +0000 CycleAlex 359255@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I'm sure it'll be useful but it's a touch depressing that it takes five years to essentially replace a set of steps with a ramp... </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=20896#post-359252 Wed, 30 Mar 2022 11:50:26 +0000 fimm 359252@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Wow. Look at that curve. Someone realised that cyclists don't turn at right angles... </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=20896#post-359251 Wed, 30 Mar 2022 11:23:57 +0000 chdot 359251@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p><a href="https://www.sustrans.org.uk/our-blog/news/2022/march/first-phase-of-106m-inverness-city-active-travel-network-complete" rel="nofollow">https://www.sustrans.org.uk/our-blog/news/2022/march/first-phase-of-106m-inverness-city-active-travel-network-complete</a> </p>
