  • Extend Tarmac by 1-2m

    Created by Rob Earl // 0 threads

    The tarmac surface ends just short of the turn into the Water of Leith Walkway. Extending it slightly would mean people didn't have to make this turn on wet cobbles.

  • Chicane, dropped kerbs and toucan crossing

    Created by FrenchyF // 0 threads

    There is a really nasty chicane in the middle of this path; it should be removed.

    Dropped kerbs should also be added at the ends of the path, where it meets Lasswade Road (east) and the Burdiehouse Burn Valley Park path network (west).

    The pedestrian crossing at Lasswade Road should be made into a toucan crossing.

  • Dropped kerb

    Created by FrenchyF // 0 threads

    Although there is a dropped kerb here, it is only usable if no one is parked in the disabled car parking spaces. A dropped kerb should be added on the southern edge of the car park, where it won't be blocked by cars parking.

  • Chicanes on bridge

    Created by FrenchyF // 0 threads

    There are some rather tight chicanes on the footbridge here, which make it difficult to cross as a cyclist, especially if you have a trailer, tandem or tagalong. Wheelchair users will also have difficulty. The chicanes should be removed.

    The electric bridge could also be permanently opened for cyclists, whilst maintaining the closure to motor vehicles, by replacing the gates with collapsible bollards.

  • Lovers Loan barriers and kerbs

    Created by Sefton // 1 thread

    The Lovers Loan shared path through the Grange has at least 5 very tight barriers along its length, and missing dropped kerbs - especially at the crossing of Dick Place. Removing barriers or widening them would make it much more easy to use for bikes, buggies and wheelchairs. Even some double pushchairs don't fit!

  • Cycle barrier

    Created by FrenchyF // 0 threads

    There's a nasty barrier here which is almost impossible to pass without dismounting. Anyone with a trailer or even just panniers will need to lift their bike over it.
