Council consultation page (see link in post) Artist impression of the Levenhall section Map of the route location and how it fits in Musselburgh cycle network DRAFT SPOKES COMMENTS Please send any thoughts on our draft comments, and anything else we should include, to spokes@spokes.org.uk Continuous segregation should be provided from roundabout to Ravensheugh Road. It seems odd this is a discontinuous route connection at this critical junction.

Can this new toucan crossing be slightly repositioned to allow for for cyclists to/from Ravensheugh Crescent access the segregated route east and west? Visibility of car drivers exiting Levenhall Links Rd is blocked by wall at no. 40. Could junction be adjusted eastwards to increase visibility? Or close this with Modal filter and make all vehicles use the entry / exit further east to the Ash Lagoons as visibility is better when exiting the car parks at the lagoons rather than Levenhall Links Road? Pavement Parking issues are to be resolved at Westpans where some homes don't have a driveway and often cars are seen parked here. Segregation to be provided rather than shared space between the segments. Also connection for cycles to / from roads opposite need to be provided via dropped kerbs. Not adequate floating bus stop. Given frequency buses along this route? Also Cycle access to / from Drummohr House Road and for pedestrians to/from …
