\"Views<\/p>\n

The City of Edinburgh Council has invited views on plans to improve provision for walking, wheeling and cycling along Dundee Street and in the wider Fountainbridge area.<\/p>\n

The proposed improvements include changes to footways, pedestrian crossings and public spaces along with upgrading the infrastructure along the existing cycle lanes.<\/p>\n

The project will also provide an improved connection between the Telfer Subway and the Union Canal via Gibson Terrace, improving the connectivity of the surrounding network.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

The full list of improvements and further information about the project<\/a> can be found on the council website.<\/p>\n

The consultation commenced on Monday 6 October 2025 and will run until Monday 12 January 2026.<\/p>\n

You can give your views on the consultation website or come down to one of the drop-in events at Fountainbridge Library on 12 November and 19 November, from 1pm to 6:30pm.<\/p>\n

Transport and Environment Convener, Councillor Stephen Jenkinson, said: \u201cThis is an important stage in our plans to make Fountainbridge a safer, more accessible, and pleasant place for everyone to move around and spend time in.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cProviding safer conditions for walking, wheeling, and cycling alongside improving connectivity are key principles of our City Mobility Plan. Keeping Edinburgh moving means looking effectively at our whole transport network and how we can improve it for the benefit of all.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019d encourage everyone to give their views and help shape these ambitious proposals.\u201d<\/p>\n
