Meadows to George Street
Our vision is to transform cycling, walking, public spaces and accessibility for all on some of Edinburgh’s busiest and most iconic streets making them even more attractive places to live, work and visit.
In doing so the project will provide key walking, wheeling and cycling improvements including new cycleways and widened footways from Teviot Place along Forrest Road, George IV Bridge and Hanover Street to George Street.
As an important part of the Edinburgh City Centre Transformation Strategy, Meadows to George Street will be one of the first projects in the city to deliver major street improvements of this kind. This short video provides more information on the wider City Centre Transformation plans.
The project will also seamlessley connect with the George Street and First New Town project and City Centre West to East Link.
Project details
Plans for the project include new segregated cycleways, widened pavements, and pedestrian priority areas. We are proposing to close some streets to some types of traffic. Tree planting and new public seating areas will also give people space to relax and socialise. Take a look at our detailed proposals.
