Unfortunately, all the greenery around there looks to be living on borrowed time following East Lothian Council's <a href="https://www.eastlothiancourier.com/news/17528908.major-development-of-1500-new-homes-on-edge-of-musselburgh-approved/">decision</a> last week. I'm not sure the development is that imminent though as the farmer has just planted cereal in all the fields to the west of the A1. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=4486#post-304239 Wed, 03 Apr 2019 19:18:27 +0000 wingpig 304239@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I saw something elsewhere talking about junction improvements (read: speedifying) related to a new development... it gave the distinct impression that it would involve removing the bus gate at the bridge by the station and allowing cars past the uni, so I assumed I had misinterpreted it. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=4486#post-304236 Wed, 03 Apr 2019 17:20:30 +0000 amir 304236@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Does anyone know why trees have been cut down between the cycle path and the A1 just north of QMU? </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=4486#post-47593 Tue, 22 Nov 2011 21:58:10 +0000 chdot 47593@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>"I thought Cyclestreets was wrong and sending me onto the A1.

I know NCN1 goes right there, but I can't find my Spokes Edinburgh map - although I do have East, Mid and West Lothian. *rolls eyes* I'll be leaving from Duddingston Park South - am I right in thinking if I head south, over the crossroads to the bottom of the Wisp I can get onto NCN1 there somewhere? </p>
