Boroughmuir is city central, won't be a lot they can do to improve walking routes, however the canal ir right next door.<br /> 2. The catchment is still pretty insane - Buckstone, Morningside and Bruntsfield - you've got a fair hike from two of the 3, lucky they bumped Preston Street and Royal Mile onto James Gillespies in trade for Bruntsfield...<br /> 3. The school currently has a sheltered bike park<br /> 4. I reckon they won't be able to sell the old building anyway - no developer could change the floor space and room height to make flats successfully, the building design just isn't going to let it fit. So I reckon it'll be a refurb in the end<br /> 5. It's not set in stone yet: <em>"Two options will be put on the table – the new-build school or a refurbishment of the current building."</em> </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=4552#post-48300 Mon, 28 Nov 2011 13:46:37 +0000 chdot 48300@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p><a href="http://www.scotsman.com/edinburgh-evening-news/education/city_reveals_plans_for_rooftop_football_pitch_at_new_boroughmuir_high_1_1987860" rel="nofollow">http://www.scotsman.com/edinburgh-evening-news/education/city_reveals_plans_for_rooftop_football_pitch_at_new_boroughmuir_high_1_1987860</a></p> <p>Just hope they are putting in as much thought to encouraging 'active travel' - i.e. making sure there is plenty of secure cycle parking and improving walking and cycling routes in the catchment area. </p>
