Currently as SRD says it's currently very narrow and liberally booby-trapped with oxter-deep mud pits, well almost, it's appalling.</p> <p>The rebuilding of the cycle path between the city and the Forth Bridge was the bit that was news to me, but maybe I've not been paying attention, I expect that was announced a month or two ago too.</p> <p>So when's the NMW work starting, does anyone know? The rebuilding of the Argyle Place / MMW junction starts this month ISTR. I'm hoping they keep the MMW route open during the work with a temporary alternative path nearby but I'm not holding my breath. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=9419#post-99189 Tue, 05 Feb 2013 22:03:30 +0000 SRD 99189@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>MMW good. NMW _very_ narrow and full of bumps/puddles. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=9419#post-99188 Tue, 05 Feb 2013 22:03:06 +0000 Smudge 99188@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Yeah but why do something difficult when you can re-do something easy then proclaim it a success? </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=9419#post-99187 Tue, 05 Feb 2013 21:59:42 +0000 Kenny 99187@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p><em> And we’re going to have a high-quality cycle path in the Meadows</em></p> <p>Isn't there already many high quality cycle paths in the Meadows? I don't go through it often, but I seem to recall there being plenty of paths through it that I thought were pretty good quality. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=9419#post-99105 Tue, 05 Feb 2013 00:26:13 +0000 chdot 99105@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>"<br /> ... investment in two major cycleway projects. </p> <p>Transport vice-convener Jim Orr said: “We’re going to upgrade the route from Roseburn to the Forth Bridge so you can cycle from Queensferry into town.
