Popular concensus suggested Dublin Street or Dundas Street. Mentioned here back in the olden days:

but a bike lift in Edinburgh was actually semi-seriously looked at perhaps 15 years ago!

Cranston Street (please can this game end with Mornington Crescent - from rAdio 4 see also belle and Sebastien song of that name)

Dumbiedykes please, linking Dumbiedykes road up to St Leonard's.
Also at the bizarro alpine switchback entrance to the Roseburn Path.

Saw that whilst in Norway last year. It seemed to have a slightly gimmicky status with the locals; the only people I saw using it were tourists.
Idea seemed sound though. Certainly it got you up a near-vertical street with little bother.

"Dumbiedykes please, linking Dumbiedykes road up to St Leonard's."
Well actually there's a plan to provide an alternative to the steep bit -

Actually this improvement was proposed by Dumbiedykes residents a few years ago - but nothing happened then.

Interesting, thanks chdot.
(More crazee Alpine switchbacks! At least it'll help infirm people to walk up the slope. I assume.)

And pram pushers.
it's an 'obvious' thing to do. Hope it happens this time.

Is it just me who reads the subject name and thinks...
"Is this a tax escalator, so that people eventually can't afford to ride bikes and have to go back to driving everywhere?" The latest SNP policy? ;o) #letsBuildMoreRoads

Mornington Crecent?

I think you'll find that rule 342 (aka the thirteenth amendment of 1990) disallows non-Scottish central destinations. You could however play a decentralised manoeuvre such as Lybster.

Morningside crescent?

Market Street? And Mound/North Bank St?

Presumably they would have to shut any side streets to ensure the escalator could operate safely. I can think of a few not so steep streets where this would be a good think.
