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.

We're putting together a day on consultations for Walk Cycle Vote - 3rd November. The programme is still being finalised so if you've any suggestions / bugbears etc. let me know (apologies if this is thread drift ...)
This looks very interesting!
Consultation on the Featherhall Avenue trial: https://consultationhub.edinburgh.gov.uk/sfc/featherhall-avenue-one-way-trial/
Also, one on a "tourist tax": https://consultationhub.edinburgh.gov.uk/ce/tvl/
The mother of all consultations.
Through 'Connecting our City, Transforming our Places', the City of Edinburgh Council is setting out bold, ambitious ideas that will help achieve the Edinburgh 2050 vision; a fairer, thriving, connected and inspired city.

Thanks for the plug! If you're planning on booking this and haven't got round to it yet, it would be helpful as we need to get the lunch order in.
An ambitious regeneration project at Granton Waterfront will take a step forward next month.
The City of Edinburgh Council will begin an intensive six month period of public engagement to deliver a vibrant, well connected, new city quarter.
The Council’s vision for the area (external link)is for around 4,000 new homes, services, retail and high quality public realm to be built over the next 15 years. The first phase of public engagement will start on Thursday, 8 November, with future events planned for January and March.
George St and First New Town consultation:
http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=12983&page=35&replies=1032#post-295880
Closes 25 Jan 2019
A propos Granton Waterfront Development, this probably has a limited shelf life given the current climate castrophe and certainty of sea level rises.
Don't worry once the developers have built it will fall on the state to pay for whatever flood defences are necessary to protect the private property. Anyone who thought the Roseburn work was expensive will be in for a shock.
Granton Waterfront masterplan consultation:
http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=19287
Closes 22 Nov 2018
This is a planning application rather than a consultation this is from spokes facebook page:
5 Millar Place Edinburgh EH10 5HJ
Demolition of existing office and erection of new office and x 2 residential units.
Spokes objects to this application on the grounds that the passageway which connects Millar Place to Maxwell St will no longer be free of steps, under the proposals.
At present there are no steps. This infringement of access on a public right of way will affect not only cycles but also the disabled and other groups such as parents with buggies. It is a retrograde proposal, and completely unacceptable.
Last date for objections Mon 03 Dec 2018
Consultation on a new crossing for Corstorphine Road at Kaimes Road (10 years in the making):
https://consultationhub.edinburgh.gov.uk/sfc/corstorphine-road-pedx/
It doesn’t appear to be a toucan, but I expect lots of cyclists to use it to get to the Pinkhill path.
https://www.midlothian.gov.uk/core-paths
Midlothian Council's core paths review out for consultation.
@Frenchy - had a look at that and the map is in greyscale. You can't make out the paths. Am I doing something wrong?
There should be path overlays in various colours. Is there a legend bar you can click on? You might be able to check the box to display them there.
EDIT: Maybe the fullscreen version will work better?https://midlothian.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=4f01c4ef8402473094aa98e7e32e2fec
@Frenchy - still nae luck. I'll try it on my computer at home.
Thanks.
RSO for the Grange improvements
This one seems to have passed us by: https://consultationhub.edinburgh.gov.uk/bi/dowies-mill-weir-fish-migration-improvement/
It's cosmetic from a cycling point of view, changing a view many of us are familiar with.
The notice was presumably posted on Cramond Brig at the end of January but I've been off the bike for most of February so didn't see it until Tuesday.
Why is the Canal-Meadows thread now locked?
Mmm
As I was the last person to post I assume I accidentally did it.
Sorry
Now open
Thanks
So I can find it easily later:

Crossing upgrades and pavement widening at Davidson's Mains roundabout.
Consultation is up for a new bridge over the Canal and connecting path to the surf centre. Surely the developers should be paying for/building this...?
https://consultationhub.edinburgh.gov.uk/sfc/wave-garden-bridge/
I think they are paying for it, via development contributions.
