Open letter from Granton and District Community Council appeals to councillors
Councillors will discuss the plans to extend the tramline from the south of the city at Edinburgh Bioquarter all the way to Granton in the north when they meet on Thursday.

Word of warning for cycling around Harrison Park. The Harrison Road bridge over the canal is now fully closed except for the footpath due to new works.
It's not clearly signed if you are used to it being open for bikes. Have seen a couple of cyclists almost crash in to the heras fencing

“Which means that Copenhagen, a city of 1.2 million people, saves $357 million a year on health costs because something like 80% of its population commutes by bike.” #CityMakingMath
