At the Transport and Environment Committee on 1 February 2024 approval was given for consultation to begin on the Strategic Business Case for taking the trams from Granton to the Royal Infirmary of Edinburgh and the Bioquarter and beyond, with a report due back to Transport and Environment Committee in Autumn 2024. The full decision can be found on the Council’s website.
This included an instruction that the consultation should
- present objectively the pros and cons of both the Roseburn and Orchard Brae routes
- provide objective analysis of the following which should be incorporated within the consultation response report to Transport and Environment Committee in Autumn 2024
- The potential to install a high-quality walking and cycling route alongside the tramline on the Roseburn Path.
- Market research undertaken to understand what a demographically representative sample of Edinburgh feels about the plans.
- The potential to protect and enhance the local ecological network as part of either tram route.
