John Logie Baird
Among the building demolished to make way for the Howgate Centre was the former Falkirk public baths,
which had in turn replaced shops and houses in the Pleasance. One of these shops was owned by a radio engineer
named John Hart, a close collaborator of John Logie Baird, and much early work on the development of television
was done here. Baird was a regular visitor and arranged many demonstrations of his invetion in the Falkirk area.
In 1926 Baird presented the people of Falkirk with one of his transmitters in grattitude for the help he had received.
John Hart later moved his business to the east end of the High Street, opposite the Bandstand.
The Falkirk transmitter is the earliest surviving authenticated piece of Baird's equipment and is in the care of Falkirk Musuem

A very dangerous road crossing for cyclists on the tow path. Traffic needs to be slowed down on a blind bend.

Cycleway:

145214

The entire length of High Station Road up to and including Cow Wynd is a key route up to Comely Park Primary School and the centre of town. The current roads are very busy (with cars, HGVs, and buses) and do not support safe cycling. Cycling along here with young children is dangerous and frightening. Segregated cycleways are required to support cycling to school and town.

Cycleway:
Problem
145213

The entire stretch of Majors Loan leading up to and including Cockburn Street, Tanners Road and West Bridge Street is not suitable for safe cycling. Particularly with young children. This is a key cycling route from the train station (and residential areas) into town and requires safe infrastructure in the form of cycleways to support safe cycling.

Signs in Bainsford. I can't think why Carron and Stenhousemuir are only for pedestrians, or why they didn't name the hospital. Imagine walking three and a quarter miles and it turns out to be the wrong one!

The single-sided HArTT cycle route signs are facing away from those joining the path at the junction.

Route sign:

108675 Photo #108675

Although the HArTT cycle path has been given a raised crossing (see #108674) and there is no road access across it, there are also no dropped kerbs to allow convenient access onto the cycle path for anyone living nearby. Some of the signs are also one-sided.

Obstruction:

108674 Photo #108674

As the road closure between Cotland Drive and Muirhead Avenue has been nicely placed where the HArTT cycle path passes through, it is a bit disappointing to see this 'give way' and lack of continuity on the cycle path.

Cycle parking at the Falkirk Wheel North Car Park. It is hard to imagine why anyone would park a bike here, some distance from the actual Falkirk Wheel and its visitors' centre, unless the canal towpath was extremely busy.

Road access to this location is via the A803/A883 roundabout, and a look at Google Streetview shows the shared-use footway ending at the roundabout rather than continuing anywhere useful. There is also some cycle parking at the Park'n'Ride car park adjacent to the roundabout.
