Some of these I have already been in touch with councillors/council officers about (mostly positive responses, but not always had a response). I'll add them to cyclescape, with photos, later:
Gayfield Square - City Centre - Rubber kerbs prevent cyclists from easily cutting through to Gayfield Street. Double yellows need to be retained to prvent parked cars blocking access as well.
Old Dalkeith Road - Liberton/Gilmerton - (i) A toucan crossing should be put in between Inch Park and the Bridgend allotments. There are currently no controlled crossings between Cameron Toll and the Royal Infirmary. (ii) The timing of the signals at the Ferniehill Road junction could also be changed. Currently, you need to use three separate pelican crossings to get from one side of the road to the other, and this can take several minutes. (iii) The road markings at the junction between Old Dalkeith Road and Little France Cottages should be repainted. Adding a bike lane would also be an improvement. (iv) Just south of Little France Road, the southbound bike lane on Old Dalkeith Road is appalling. It's alongside a parking bay, but the parking bay isn't wide enough for cars to fit into it without them sticking into the bike lane. Even if it was, "dooring" would still be a significant hazard. The bike lane really needs to be wider and further away from parked cars. If this isn't possible, I think it would be better to have no cycle lane at all. (v) Further south on Old Dalkeith Road, the southbound cycle lane disappears at the pinch points caused by traffic islands. The cycle lanes should get wider through the pinch point. East Lothian Council has done this (on Linkfield Road in Musselburgh, for example), and Edinburgh really needs to follow suit. (vi) The path between Ferniehill Road and The Wisp should be designated a shared use path, as impatient drivers make cycling on the road dangerous.
Russell Road - Sighthill/Gorgie - Southbound drivers have a worrying tendency to cut the corner just before the railway bridge. This endangers cyclists northbound cyclists trying to turn right to get onto the Roseburn Path. A traffic island should be placed at this corner to prevent drivers cutting the corner. The double yellows must also be retained.
Gilmerton Road - Liberton/Gilmerton - The pavement on the west side of Gilmerton Road, just to the south of the junction with Moredun Dykes Road, has a gap in it which should be fixed. I think this dates from when the entrance to the dentist's car park was on Gilmerton Road. Unfortunately there aren't even dropped kerbs, so the pavement poses difficulties for anyone with limited mobility.
Candlemaker's Park - Liberton/Gilmerton - A gate or hole in the fence should be installed to allow access between Candlemaker's Park and Drum Avenue.
Ferniehill Drive - Liberton/Gilmerton - At the west end of Ferniehill Drive, there is a gap between the end of the bus lane and the start of the bike lane. Drivers tend to move left when the bus lane ends, not realising there's a bike lane up ahead, and this makes filtering difficult. The cycle lane should be extended to meet the bus lane.
Dumbiedykes - Southside/Newington - (i) At the bottom of Braidwood Gate, a dropped kerb should be installed so that cyclists don't need to dismount to get onto/from Dumbiedykes Road. (ii) The steps for accessing Queen's Drive from Dumbiedykes Road should either be replaced with or augmented by a ramp.
Hill Place - Southside/Newington - Parking/loading should not be allowed in the contraflow bike lane. Drivers are often unaware that there even is a contraflow bike lane, and parked cars force cyclists to enter the oncoming lane, which causes conflict and endangers them. Ideally the bike lane would also be mandatory rather than advisory. There are probably similar problems with other contraflow bike lanes in the city.
Telfer subway - Fountainbridge/Craiglockhart - There's a rather deep gutter along the edges of Telfer Subway, which makes it difficult for cyclists to turn into the path along to Dalry Road. I imagine the gutter poses even bigger problems for wheelchair users and others of limited mobility. A cover should be put over the gutter at this point.
Everywhere - There are a lot of barriers/chicanes on footpaths and cyclepaths which make it difficult for people with mobility issues to use these paths. They are also tricky for children on bikes to navigate, or if you are pushing a bike. Some examples are the footpath between Moredun Park View and Moredun Park Gardens, the footpath between Gracemount Drive and Burnhead Loan, and the footpath at the end of Glenallan Drive. These should all be removed or widened.
