Key project features
- Bike lanes which are protected from cars along Dundee Street and Fountainbridge, replacing temporary infrastructure.
- Better pavements, crossings and public space, making the area more accessible for pedestrians and wheelchair users and more pleasant spaces to spend time in.
- Easier ways to get to the Union Canal, including at Lochrin Basin and Gibson Terrace
- Union Canal alternative for cyclists, via quiet route on Ashley Drive, Ogilvie Terrace, Harrison Gardens, West Bryson Road, Bryson Road and Fowler Terrace.
- Some changes to how cars move around to make things safer, including one-way streets and junction changes. We’ll add things like bollards or planters to stop cars using some streets, so they’re quieter and safer.
As well as traffic-calming, the proposals will bring a range of other benefits to the local area including
- it will be easier to get to school, shops and parks
- people of all ages will find it safer and easier to move around
To support local businesses, we will keep access for loading and deliveries where possible on main roads or relocate to side roads.
