Now the revised cycle path is in place, the markings suggesting the former route (which caused much of the trouble) should be removed

Now might be a good time to remember the Councillor who predicted that if the highways authority installed too many traffic lights, motorists would ignore them.
@spokes.org.uk was it your pal Cllr Brereton?

Rather like the idea of @jackrmcaldwell.bsky.social representing the forces of good, though.

The section on trip hazards is surprising; it implies they don't apply where the level difference is <13mm.
Whereas on e.g. Leith Walk there's umpteen examples probably <13mm which are deffo a hazard.
The idiot dalek bollards on GeorgeIV Bridge and at City Chambers are ruled out though 👍

* except a few fast ones in the peak, or you class East Coast Buses/Lothian Country as Lothian Buses because they're part of the group.
But that's really pedantic.

In urban areas, the recommended guidance is that no bus stop should require a walking distance of more than 400m.
So if it's a mile, your local bus service isn't good enough.

There are two George V parks in Edinburgh.
George IV has to make do with a bridge, most of which is hidden from sight. A fate that was unlikely to befall that monarch, at least in his later years.
