@urchaidh.bsky.socialReposted by @johnrobson87.bsky.socialRoad is still closed but The Innocent Path is not restricted. The crossing itself is out of action, but with the road closed there's no need for it and you can cross a few metres east. #EdTravCyc
Token picture of broken water main.
@edtiss.bsky.socialReposted by @johnrobson87.bsky.socialAn insight into cycling trends - the introduction of Voi bikes has added about 500 additional cyclists per day to Leith Walk; the tram closure added another 250 at the peak. The Voi effect is much larger at the weekend, while the inverse is true for the tram.

@urchaidh.bsky.socialReposted by @johnrobson87.bsky.socialSeen a report (Reddit) of a burst water main on Duddingston Park South which looks like it's taken the Innocent Path crossing out of action. #EdTravCyc

- better for drivers, more dangerous for cyclists?
Please send comments to Cllr @rosssmckenzie.bsky.social - see above thread
We have already received several - will forward to RM

@johnrobson87.bsky.socialIt was done with a good intention to help the children cross to / from the school. However couldnāt they have just extend the green man phase and response time so pupils donāt need to wait long and gather in the first place.
@johnrobson87.bsky.socialFYI @chasbooth.bsky.social @rosssmckenzie.bsky.social
@johnrobson87.bsky.socialI was amazed yesterday evening to see the queue westbound going all the way back to Princes St via two whole blocks. The council is clearly incompetent given how long Princes St has now been closed. Surely there is a simple solution for bus users?
@johnrobson87.bsky.socialAll goneā¦
@johnrobson87.bsky.socialReserving a dock space like you can reserve a bike for 10mins free before a hire should be possible to avoid parking issues and having to find alternatives at short notice. Voi need to sort that functionality.

@johnrobson87.bsky.socialOut of interest is Johnston Ter council or HES controlled? Seems to be a VOI no go zone during the festival whereas Castlehill and Cowgate seem to have closures and go slows that are timed to CEC road closures for the festival. Seems odd that cyclists canāt use Johnston Ter when no events?
@johnrobson87.bsky.social@johnrobson87.bsky.socialSo @edinburghcouncil.bsky.social said we canāt have underground bins in the City Centre so put in bin hubsā¦ yet out Granton the same council have put in underground binsā¦ make it make sense?!

@johnrobson87.bsky.socialNoticed an increase in pavement parking lately and wondering if itās all the visitors from elsewhere in the UK who habitually donāt give š© about pavement parking. My driver mind boggles as to how anyone would think parking like that on a road that wide was sensible!
@johnrobson87.bsky.social#EdTravCyc
New(ish) bidirectional cycleway being altered already for new housing access to housing near Granton Gasholder. Disappointing ādismountā signage being used rather than ādo not overtake cyclesā on carriageway?
Otherwise planting along route looking great š¾šŖ»šæ
