Difficulties in joining the Water End Orbital
I've never approached from this way before but I came along the path up the left side of the river last week to join Water End Road. However on getting to the junction of the path and Water End I found that there wasn't anything to allow me to join or cross the road easily, only a full height kerb on each side.
This meant I had to wait for a sizeable break in the traffic in order to be safe to lower my bike over the kerb - my bike is a large utility bike that doesn't take kindly to just jumping off kerbs. Fortunately even though it was 6pm on a Friday the traffic was light so a suitable break came along.
Worse the is not dropped kerb on the opposite side to join the kerb segregated cycle path, that forms part of the city's orbital route. This meant I found myself having to cycle a third of a km on the road alongside a perfectly good cycle path, as it was too busy heading in the other direction to stop and lift my bike up the kerb without causing an obstruction or being unsafe. -
Loading bay in front of dropped kerb
There is a dropped kerb here to allow cyclists to get from Dean Terrace to Deanhaugh Street, but there is a marked loading bay on Deanhaugh Street right in front of it.
-
Disappearing cycle lane; missing dropped kerb
The shared use paths here end abruptly at the east and west ends, with absolutely no warning to cyclists, and no indication of where they're supposed to go. This causes conflict with pedestrians.
Cyclists coming out of the shopping centre and heading west on the shared use path suddenly find themselves cycling along a non-shared use pavement, or are forced to cross four lanes of traffic with no controlled crossing.
There is also no dropped kerb at the east end, so it is difficult for cyclists to rejoin the carriageway.
-
Gap between bollards too narrow; missing dropped kerb
There are two lines of bollards on this path, which are set quite close together, preventing easy access for disabled people, cyclists with trailers etc.
Also, at the top of the path, there is no dropped kerb, making it difficult to return to the carriageway at Cook Crescent.

Dropped kerb on Melville Drive
There should be a dropped kerb to allow cyclists coming down the cycle path from Spottiswoode Street to rejoin the carriageway.

Filtered Permeability Lacks Dropped Kerb
This section of West Bowling Green Street is closed to motor vehicles making it a very quiet route to the Water of Leith Walkway. Unfortunately, the filtering is done in an old fashioned style which blocks cyclists. Also, the road surface is terrible. Some signs wouldn't go amiss either.

Dropped kerb is still very high
The dropped kerb on the west side of the exit from the B&M store is still a big step up and as you need to turn the corner at that point it mkes manuvering difficult.

Dropped Kerb Needs Repaired
The dropped kerb on cycleroute 9 at the shell garage has been badly installed/damaged and is now a relatively large step, capable of damaging a bicycle wheel.
-
Dropped kerbs
The cycle path at the west end of East Kilngate Wynd turns into a pavement at Lasswade Road. Dropped kerbs are needed to allow cyclists to rejoin the carriageway easily. There should be a dropped kerb on either side of the barrier, for cyclists heading in each direction on Lasswade Road.

-
Dropped kerb and ramp
A dropped kerb should be added at the foot of Braidwood Gate so that cyclists don't need to dismount. A chicane is *not* needed at the bottom of the hill, either.
A ramp should also be added, either in place of or beside the steps from Dumbiedykes Road into Holyrood Park.

Melvin Walk
Melvin Walk is a useful shared-use path between Fountainbridge and Morrison Crescent. It should have dropped kerbs to make it even better.
-
Link Annan Road and Lockerbie Road
This is a well used route already but very muddy as there is no surfaced footpath across the playing field. A dropped kerb at the end of Noble Grove and a surfaced path around the football pitches to a dropped kerb on Parkhead Loaning would be a significant improvement. A type 1 and dust path as detailed in the attached link would perhaps be more suitable than a fully tarmacked path. Lighting at the points of entry to the grassed area would be an added benefit as this is currently a very dark route.
-
Dropped kerb needed
There needs to be a dropped kerb to access the Merritts Brook Greenway from the carriageway here. Apparently the road is private, so Birmingham City Council doesn't have responsibility here, we think. It may be that it is Bournville BVT that is responsible for this section of road, but we aren't sure.

-
Barrier blocking dropped kerb, with no alternative
A barrier has been erected when the NCN7 cycle path joins the A86, presumably to stop children from cycling onto this busy road. However, this blocks the dropped kerb at this location, and no alternative is available without cycling some distance into Kingussie on a footpath which is not marked as shared use.
The barrier also limits the entrance to the cycle track, which could make it difficult for people with trailers or alternative bikes
-
Drop kerb required to allow cyclists to rejoin path
It would be good to have a dropped kerb near here to allow southeast-bound cyclists who have used the road/bus lane to rejoin the cycle path without having to go onto the A90 slip road to rejoin at Crammond Brig
