Connecting Granton Waterfront
Overview
The regeneration of Granton Waterfront is a residential led, mixed use development that includes:
- 3,500 mixed tenure homes;
- a new primary school;
- a new health centre;
- retail and leisure opportunities, that will link with new and existing cultural facilities; and
- business space.
These will be tied together with high quality public realm and green spaces connecting new and existing communities to the wider city and Edinburgh’s Waterfront through active and sustainable travel.
Connecting Granton Waterfront
Our proposals aim to provide better transport connections and access to the promenade, parks, local shops, schools, services and public transport across Granton Waterfront. We also want to create a more attractive place to spend time, with trees, planting, public art and opportunities to rest.
This project proposes a network of safe and well-connected routes as part of a walking, wheeling and cycling network for Granton Waterfront. Our ideas have been designed to make walking, wheeling and cycling safer and easier through the new and existing areas of the neighbourhood. The proposals include wider pavements, better cycling provision, placemaking improvements including new and improved landscaping and upgrades to key crossing points and junctions on the following routes:
- Forthquarter Park
- Waterfront Broadway
- Waterfront Park
- Waterfront Avenue
- West Shore Road
- The Promenade
