Thanks @gavincorbett! But I'm surprised it had to go via the transport committee - can't it just 'happen'? Anyway, glad it's finally getting sorted. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=9576&page=3#post-103969 Tue, 12 Mar 2013 14:54:18 +0000 chdot 103969@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>"<br /> Gavin Corbett (@gavincorbett)<br /> 12/03/2013 13:24<br /> @CyclingEdin @SRDEdinburgh @SpokesLothian.

Not that surprising as there are a lot of residents.</p> <p>But it almost seems like the people who park there deliberately park their cars very close together in order to make it as awkward as possible for cyclists to access the path.</p> <p>What do you think? If you live there, do you know of residents who object to cyclists using the diagonal path? </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=9576&page=3#post-103430 Fri, 08 Mar 2013 23:16:24 +0000 chdot 103430@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Shared use, take care mind the digs. </p> <p>I-Bar coming to the bottom. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=9576&page=3#post-103428 Fri, 08 Mar 2013 23:10:28 +0000 creature 103428@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>This dropped kerb has been a long time coming.<br /> I was wondering what the views of all Harrison cyclists was to the use of the Diagonal Path.

So hopefully we'll see something happen. I think (not entirely sure) they're having to put a traffic order thing through to get the parking bay moved! Then they can paint a bit of white paint (there and at the other entrances)... </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=9576&page=2#post-102664 Mon, 04 Mar 2013 10:45:43 +0000 SRD 102664@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>thanks Lionfishy but credit should go to uberuce at least as much as me - probably more because he forced us to set a date/time :) </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=9576&page=2#post-102659 Mon, 04 Mar 2013 10:28:31 +0000 Wilmington's Cow 102659@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>That really was quite impressive!</p> <p>Paper cup experiment, that reminds me now it's lighter in the mornings... </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=9576&page=2#post-102658 Mon, 04 Mar 2013 10:26:11 +0000 lionfish 102658@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Thanks SRD for organising the impromptu celebration [edit: and fiz]!

It was a fun end to the mini- event, but unlikely to last long. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=9576&page=2#post-102629 Sun, 03 Mar 2013 20:36:38 +0000 chdot 102629@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>"That's a rather impressive turnout!"</p> <p>Well you know -</p> <p>Build a dropped kerb and they will come. </p> <p>Or maybe it was the free booze... </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=9576&page=2#post-102626 Sun, 03 Mar 2013 20:26:33 +0000 fimm 102626@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>That's a rather impressive turnout! </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=9576&page=2#post-102623 Sun, 03 Mar 2013 19:54:32 +0000 Uberuce 102623@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Four glasses from moi, and three returned paper cups from 16.</p> <p>The paper cup exclusion zone was a dismal failure - after I turned round to use the kerb someone squished three of them.
