When you call, you're "just some cyclist". When he calls clearly the Council start bricking it about another populist campaign... </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=7011#post-73607 Fri, 08 Jun 2012 13:30:02 +0000 kaputnik 73607@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Or unneccessairly digging up / fencing off / rerouting bits of cycle path?</p> <p>The cut-through at Russell Road was getting quite bad with contractors vehicles parking on the widened pavements, although I notice that's happening a lot less now so perhaps words have been had.</p> <p>Section of the Broomhouse path been fenced off for the purposes of storing lots of mud on it shifted from another part of the site. I assume it's much easier process to close off bits of cycle path for the purposes of mud stowage than closing the road. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=7011#post-73603 Fri, 08 Jun 2012 13:17:20 +0000 Min 73603@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Nah, just gives more tea drinking time in McDs. ;-) </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=7011#post-73600 Fri, 08 Jun 2012 13:00:28 +0000 Zenfrozt 73600@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>lol just my somewhat naiive theory that if they can park there, they have to spend less time hunting for a car parking space and can spend more time working :P </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=7011#post-73597 Fri, 08 Jun 2012 12:56:02 +0000 Min 73597@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I don't know why fencing off areas for private car parking would get the tram completed quicker though.</p> <p>I wonder what they will do? The council told me they couldn't do anything when I complained about North St Andrew St being completely blocked off for the same purpose. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=7011#post-73596 Fri, 08 Jun 2012 12:55:42 +0000 SRD 73596@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I think it was a bunch of us who complained about the Meadows wasn't it? </p> <p>'fraid I find myself in agreement with the EEn this time. Although I would take issue with claims that parking is a problem in Edinburgh. I refuse to believe this until I hear that the council=provided car parks are actually used to something near capacity. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=7011#post-73591 Fri, 08 Jun 2012 12:45:50 +0000 Zenfrozt 73591@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I for one, wouldn't complain if it means that the tram works reach their conclusion faster? </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=7011#post-73589 Fri, 08 Jun 2012 12:43:23 +0000 chdot 73589@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p><a href="http://www.scotsman.com/edinburgh-evening-news/tram-staff-use-princes-street-as-private-car-park-1-2345302" rel="nofollow">http://www.scotsman.com/edinburgh-evening-news/tram-staff-use-princes-street-as-private-car-park-1-2345302</a></p> <p>Now there's a surprise... </p>
