@david_mccraw@SustransScot@WOLCT@edinhelp “a significant hazard with cyclists then re-entering onto the path at speed and putting users on the formal route (and themselves) at risk.
For information and by way of update, there is now no desire line path and the previous access through the bridge piers is discouraged…”
@edinhelp why have you constructed this fence on the water of leith path near Woodhall Millbrae? It completely blocks a desire line path that has been there for years.
@dougalstanton@TennentsLager are possibly the worst HGV drivers I’ve come across. Not only terrible at at driving but also incredibly rude and aggressive!
So here's my idea for the day, and I need you, the people of Edinburgh, to help. Not just cyclists, but anyone who cares about what is happening on our roads. First up, for the day, changing your profile picture to the attached. E for Edinburgh. E for End. E for Enough.
As 40+ years of polite gentle lobbying has been mostly ignored and those doing it belittled, mocked and abused then perhaps it’s about time people got fucking angry at the lack of progress and the interminable delays while folk continue to be killed and injured.
I’m a horrible mix of angry and totally cut up at the moment.
Three years old, walking of the pavement with his mum.
Here’s the thing, there ‘might’ be an innocent reason for the driver (sudden, unexpected medical episode), but we’ve enabled the harm.
Fuck this.
In the last 8 days in Edinburgh, a cyclist has been hit by a driver in E Preston Street; a 7 year old was run over in Porty (condition unknown); a cyclist has been killed on Mount Vernon Road; and a woman and child have been hit by a car on the pavement on Morningside Rd 1/2
Police Scotland can confirm that a three-year-old boy has died following a road traffic crash in Edinburgh today, Tuesday, 30 June, 2020.

Hi @edinhelp, the corner of Charlotte Sq / S Charlotte St was flooded and has now been drained. However, it’s left lots of mud in the cycle lane. Danger of slipping. Can you get it cleaned? Thanks.
