@langoo Done on purpose to annoy car drivers probably

@iainpope73 Bottleneck points to the way forward. Sense of arrival from the steps is congestion hell. A formally designed public square. Relocate escalators to south elevation. The lift provides a superb example of enfolding view (if cleaned). Reintroduce the tourist info office.

@theSpurtle @edinhelp I tripped over one of those blasted things before Christmas. Landed on my face. Needed antibiotics to clear up a resultant eye infection

@thecockburn @deadlinenews Each non forestry whip seems to have its own watering pipe. I cycled along the route yesterday and most seem to be alive. The surroundings is looking like scorched earth. Am wondering if the watering pipes are in fact being used. Should be under contractual maintenance?

@Neil_Mackenzie @fountainbridge @Edinburgh_CC @SustransScot @LivingStreetsEd @SpokesLothian @GDCC_ @thecockburn @rsmcksg What?!

[SandyBarony @BaronySandy]

@thecockburn Does that figure include all the previous schemes and feasibility studies EIA’s etc

@thecockburn Princes Street is reinventing itself with the big corporate retail outlets moving to St James. Hospitality uses are well suited to Princes St given the south facing aspect with good views. Remember how ‘dead’ the upper floor windows were when retail was king.

@thecockburn It’s terrific. Get building more lines please

@david_mccraw Have you seen the huge led advert whore-ding at Picardy Place

@theSpurtle @thecockburn @EdinburghWH @MG4CityCentre @FinlayMcF @CllrCMiller @jomowat @NTBCC @AngusRobertson Thx for highlighting. I did notice the creeping Christmas re invasion

[SandyBarony @BaronySandy]

@kylethebuilder A fine tool

[SandyBarony @BaronySandy]

@streetscape33 It’s blinding. Remove it immediately

[SandyBarony @BaronySandy]

@thecockburn The architects of the turd should have thought of the issue of a ‘posh’ pick up earlier. Remember, the North British built a private lift access and corridor into Waverley specifically for their customers

[SandyBarony @BaronySandy]

@edinburghpaper Parts of the walkway are designed to accommodate flooding to attenuate it. Thank you Evening Blues

@Laura23594365 @EdinburghLive_ I agree about the use of the space prior to this current development but that just highlights the fact that the whole concept was poorly conceived from the start. The owners have tried to guild a turd with fake gold! The St James quarter shows what can be done with plaza space

@scottedge0 @CyclingWorlds @Edinburgh_CC @edinburghcastle @UCI_cycling @VisitScotland @Scotland I know an ex reporter from BBC Scotland, which is of course based in Glasgow. I asked once why a big Scottish event was poorly covered. He said that unless they could see it outside the HQ windows, or it was football, they weren’t interested. BBC Reporting Glasvegas!

@inconbos1 I love big whities

[SandyBarony @BaronySandy]

@Pisspig1976 That will feel so good
