This is not appropriate with such short notice and no diversion. Surely access could have been via a diversion through the old waste reclaim site?
Yet again active travel been considered last.

Good find. The Manor Powis roundabout is a real missing link between Stirling and the Clackmannshire cycle network via Cambuskenneth.
Also Brunstane NCN bridge is being redesigned.

Yep it would useful if Voi & @edinhelp or BS equiv could respond to these concerns. I spotted the app now has photos which show temporary corners for “parking area” however up in Burntsfield they moved the well use dock and still people park at the old one?! 🤷‍♂️

Thanks to roving reporter Stella for the updates 👏
Retweets welcome 🙏
Safe cycling.

Indeed 🧐

Really 🤔?! Yes please don’t replace the same again as I reported it ages ago and it’s been missing more than it’s been there. Can’t actually remember when it was last in place.

I think the bollard was removed due to the works for the cycleway on Henderson St etc. to maintain access for the bins etc.

Used this yesterday. Such an improvement! 🙌

🪫 Seems to be popular but only 4 bikes available since this afternoon. Many bikes at docks but batteries are flat… obviously early days but prospective users getting disappointed & can’t be relied upon yet.
Did VOI forget the spare batteries 🔋 or are Edinburgh hills too steep?
FYI @spokes.org.uk

Used today which was great. Agree the slightly passive aggressive speed signs are bizarre. Just say “slow farm traffic” rather than singling out cycles 🙄
However progress is great and good to know access is possible 👍

This was it on Thursday…
Amazing how knackered the road is from just bus use.

But you could go along Russell Rd as no bridge will be provided over the mainline railway if headed north/south. Plenty of room for segregation along Russell Rd. NCN 1 should be along CCWEL so no need to access Balbirnie Pl unless destination is a house there?
