The main project areas
Work has focussed around
- Great Junction Street
- Leith Links
- Shore area and Dock Street
Alongside this we are developing plans for
- Hawthornvale Path to Seafield Road
- Commercial Street
- Replacing Lindsay Road Bridge
What we’ve achieved so far
- created a southbound bus lane on the Shore to reduce non-residential traffic in the overall area while allowing loading in the morning to businesses.
- introduced traffic filters to stop non-residential vehicles travelling through the area at Coburg Street, Sandport Place Bridge, Tolbooth Wynd and John’s Place. Resident, service or delivery vehicles still have access.
- improved existing and created new community spaces with seating and planting at John’s Place, Coburg Street and Burgess Street
- built out crossing points and dropped kerbs making it easier and safer to cross streets
- removed street clutter such as sign poles and redundant wayfinding totems
- created artwork on some streets to make it safer for school children and residents to get around.
