North Edinburgh Connections

The project proposals

West Granton Road

one-way, cycle lanes that are separated from traffic on the north and south side of West Granton Road
routing cycle lanes around the back of bus stop areas
improving existing and building more pedestrian crossings
improving West Granton Access junction for pedestrians
installing raised tables (speed humps) at minor side roads
developing the roundabout at the end of Pennywell Road so cyclists can travel around it, separate from traffic. Zebra crossings will be at every access/exit to the roundabout.
West Granton Road will still have single traffic lanes in each direction.

Computer generated image of a road running along side a grassy area with trees. there are parked cars and a cyclist on the road. A path runs through the grassy area.

A road has cars moving in both directions with a pavement either side and people walking along one side. To the other side, there is a grassy corridor with trees. A path runs alongside with people jogging and walking. in the distance are houses and cars

Outdoor spaces

We want to create outdoor areas for socialising and play that are

safe
easy to access
well lit

We will also build in sustainable measures like drainage systems that will help reduce the risk of flooding and help with climate resilience.
