As some of your users have become aware, new cycle routes are in the process of being signed. These routes are part of the ‘Family Network’ which are quiet routes aimed particularly at younger, new or less confident cyclists. The Council is implementing these as part of the Active Travel Action Plan.
Routes 10 and part of Route 6 have already been signed. The next tranche of route signing is due to be completed by April 2014. These routes are:
• Route 9, which runs from Roseburn to The Gyle and Newbridge. From Roseburn it merges with Route 8 and then National Cycle Network Route 1 to bring it into the city centre. Other key route destinations include Edinburgh Zoo and Corstorphine.
• Route 8, which runs from Edinburgh Park to Roseburn where it merges with National Cycle Network Route 1 to bring it into the city centre. Other key route destinations include Edinburgh College and Edinburgh Napier.
• Route 20, which links east-west across the northern part of the city from Craigleith to Lochend Park and Restalrig. Key route destinations include the Western General Hospital, the Royal Botanic Garden and the Top of Leith Walk.
• The Restalrig Railpath, which links Seafield, Leith links, Restalrig and the Foot of Leith Walk.
The first of these routes, Route 9, has now been signed but this is now being checked for problems. The Council has noted the problems highlighted on the forum and these will be included in the work to rectify them.
It is very useful to have cycle users’ comments and corrections for these signs and these can be sent to cycling@edinburgh.gov.uk.
If you have any questions regarding this letter please let me know. Yours sincerely
