CityCyclingEdinburgh was launched on the 27th of October 2009 as "an experiment".
IT’S TRUE!
CCE is 15years 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.
(Aka railings)
A favourite CCE topic.
It is generally CEC policy to remove 'where possible'.
Main reasons -
Not to hem in pedestrians for the convenience of traffic flow.
Reduce the risk of cyclists being squashed (especially on corners).
General reduction of 'streetscape' clutter.
Downside can be removal of convenient bike parking.
Outside of John Lewis - less guardrail more racks. -
Aye I noticed the new racks a couple of weeks ago. Better than before.
wherever there is the "need" for urban guardrail, the first option should always be to stick it on the road to slow traffic down to make it safe enough for all human beings to go about their lawful business, not just those wrapped in high-powered steel boxes.
Railings have also been removed from Ashley Terrace.
