Dalry Town Centre and Roseburn

Latest:

Earlier in the year City of Edinburgh Council published the outcomes of a consultation on proposals that included daytime traffic redirection from Dalry to alternative routes, including Wester Coates/Roseburn Terrace and Russell Road. The summary of 767 consultation responses included that:

• responses were relatively balanced overall (49% opposed and 46% in favour)

• views in favour tended to be among people who lived inside the proposal zone, and those who use active or public transport

• the opposing views were more likely to be from those who live outside the area, and were in large part concerned with traffic affecting areas outside the proposal zone (though there was also concern about effects on residential streets within the zone)

One of the next steps is to investigate "the impact that a traffic filter at Haymarket would have on local traffic and deliveries, and how this might affect traffic outside the project area."

There were other aspects of the proposals, including for the area between West End Place and Tynecastle High School, and regarding the Dalry Swim Centre. Check the link above for the full story.

Previously:

[05-10-2024] A consultation on the Dalry Town Centre proposals is open until the 26 June 2024. The proposal page is here and the consultation is here. One aspect is "a proposed filter for cycles, buses and taxis just south of the Haymarket junction, operating between 7am and 7pm". Other traffic to and from the city would use alternative routes, including Wester Coates/Roseburn Terrace and Russell Road.

At the Murrayfield Community Council meeting of 16 April 2024, concerns were raised from the floor that this amounted to a diversion of traffic through Roseburn.
