CYCLISTS have warned Edinburgh City Council that a failure to implement safety improvements around the city's tram routes mean there is "a fatality waiting to happen".
It follows claims that in the first phase of tram works starting in 2009, 74 cyclists suffered falls on Princes Street as a direct result of the works.
It is also claimed a number of recommendations were put to the council in a bid to reduce cyclists' injuries but only a handful have been implemented.
