Leaves on dumfries cycle path
Leaves on cycle path a disgrace. Cycle paths are never correctly looked after. I came off bike yesterday slipping on leaves and have broken clavicle

New route next to railway track: Dumfries - Greenlea
Create an off-road route along the railway line out to the east, which could ultimately form a route out to Collin.

Toucan crossing at Brooms Rd/Cumberland St
Convert the crossing from Glebe Street to Cumberland Street into a toucan crossing, giving bikes access into the traffic calmed Queen St area.

Make Aldermanhill Rd no through road for cars
Make Aldermanhill Road a no-through-road for cars, even if only during the school run, to prevent it becoming a rat run for drivers avoiding Craigs Road.
-
Link Georgetown Rd and Milburn Ave for cyclists
Remove the guard rails from the roundabout that joins the Annan Road and Georgetown Road - see point. Widen the pavement and create a cut through from Georgetown Road to Milburn Avenue.
-
Toucan crossing at Brooms Rd/Eastfield Rd
Create a toucan crossing so that cyclists can get from the Brooms Road path to Eastfield Road.

Toucan crossing at Brooms Rd/Barrie Ave
Make the crossing from the Brooms Road path onto the signed cycle route up Barrie Avenue a toucan crossing, and remove the guard rails so that bikes can use that short stretch of pavement to reach Barrie Avenue
-
Route via playing field and Aldermanhill Rd
Signpost a route as shown from Calside to Brooms Road. This is the quietest and least hilly route and coupled with the other suggestions would make a more pleasant route into town by bike.
Remove the chicanes along the playing fields at the points shown so people using bikes, wheelchairs and pushchairs can use this path.
