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.
I was prepared for the dean village detour but after the Hilton Hotel, the footbridge is closed due to further landslides.
Had to go back up and through the donaldsons roadworks. After that it was plain sailing round Murrayfield then along stenhouse up to canal through heriot watt and along long dalmahoy to ravelrig hill. Good easterly helped.
The path was open from the canal interchange to Balerno but I was up to my knees in filthy mud.
Yes open til Tuesday, then back to laying the ultitrec
cannot wait
for
serious substrate
it is the
mandate
of heaven
Horses hooves might effect
The binding properties of ultitrec?
Survey link - didn't include anything about the detour/blocked paths so mentioned those in the comments.
Dean Valley Regeneration Ltd is a local charity to Edinburgh lobbying for the renovation of the council owned land within the Dean Valley and its popular shared walkway along the Water of Leith from Stockbridge to Dean Village. It also includes renovation of those pieces of abandoned land next to Stockbridge and along the river side.
We are conducting a survey of cyclists who use the walkway over the next couple of months. Please would you promote this amongst your friends through Facebook, Twitter and other social media outlets.
The path through the Dean Valley forms part of the Council’s planned ‘QuietRoutes’ network of cycle routes across the city. This aims to provide a network of routes that are suitable for less-confident / less-experienced cyclists and is a key part of the Council’s ‘Active Travel Action Plan 2010-2020’ (originally referred to as the ‘Family Network’). In addition, the path is also an important part of the city’s Core Paths network.

Sounds like a good project, presume CEC owns the WoL its banks and walkway & St. Bernard’s Well and surrounds - don’t know what else.
Much of the surrounding land is private (membership) gardens.

There will be a mirror survey for pedestrians to complain about cyclists should they feel like it.
I said as it as a shared path cyclists should cycle with care and dog walkers and other peds should also conduct themselves responsibly.
“
“I was worried it might be a body. I would not have expected something like that in this part of town.”
Dog walker Sarah Martin found the path beside the Water of Leith had been cordoned off by police when she tried to enter from the Stockbridge Colonies.
“
A sad tale. A case of life imitating art tooas cop shows were always filming down that way, more at St Bernards Well as area could be closed off easily.
Mention of sharing makes me want to mention yesterday's three dog walker in Colinton Dell, she being firmly of the opinion that cyclists should confine their activities to the west side of the river and not use the side on which she walks her dogs. "There's steps along there you know". "We know".

Some dodgy percentages in there ( sum(%) <100 )
By how much? Percentages in charts rarely add to exactly 100 thanks to rounding errors.
On the figures, they've quoted the actual number of responses, then expressed that as a percentage.
So, in Q2 "48 61%" means that 48 out of 79 (61%) people use the path less than once a week.
The percentages I checked all added to 100 or 101% (which will be caused by rounding, as jonty says), except where people would have been able to pick more than one option.
Not a closure as such but between Balerno and Currie there is a tree down over the path. Dismount and carry through possible. THen just after the Ultitrec rubber stretch ( a bit softer than the dry gravel) a very large boulder of Horse manure. A small island no less
Is it still a bolus when it has emerged?
Not closed as such, just an actual river tonight. Very wet. Except the kilometre of ultitrec which runs between currie and balerno and had some good drains dug when it was laid.
