CityCyclingEdinburgh was launched on the 27th of October 2009 as "an experiment".
IT’S TRUE!
CCE is 16years old!
Well done to ALL posters
It soon became useful and entertaining. There are regular posters, people who add useful info occasionally and plenty more who drop by to watch. That's fine. If you want to add news/comments it's easy to register and become a member.
RULES No personal insults. No swearing.
I didn't remember seeing it in the plans, but due to the lovely weather we've been experiencing, CEC have decided to go one step further and add an open-air swimming lane to N. Meadow Walk. Super...!
Once they've removed the temporary barriers, there will even be a 1.5 metre high fountain for the kids to play in...
That sounds pretty exciting.

better than the still
Doesn't look like there's any urgency to fix it...
Meanwhile millions of litres of drinking water wasted.
edd1e_h - Scottish Water loses 629 million litres of water per day through leakage. This is actually pretty good, in 2002/3 they lost 1.12 billion litres per day!
They won't be sweating this one.
Reminds me of a when I was a student and something similar happened - my memory of the resulting fountain is that it was much bigger than that one, I assume it was a higher pressure pipe they'd punctured. I was in a chemistry lab at the time and the water pressure dropped noteably.
I for one welcome the new water feature - I don't remember it on the plans for the improved bike path, but it looks quite refreshing!
Free bike wash on NMW??
"Scottish Water are attending to a burst water main at the east end of the Meadows. Traffic management details are yet to be decided but 4-way temporary traffic lights may be required at Melville Drive/Hope Park Terrace junction later today (Monday 17th). We will provide more details as we get them."
4-way temporary traffic lights may be required...
Presumably because they'll have to shut the flow off from that junction, or similar. The burst is at least a couple of hundred metres away from there.
