Overview
This consultation gives people the opportunity to express their views about proposed initial designs for cycling and walking improvements in Roseburn Park.
These designs are part of planned improvements to the cycling route, called QuietRoute 8. This route forms part of the QuietRoutes Network that is being implemented across Edinburgh. The aim of the network is to provide routes that are easy, safe and convenient to use by people of any level of cycle experience. It will also improve conditions for people walking.
Why your views matter
The Council needs to understand and consider all the needs and views expressed by people regarding the street re-design.
We will use the comments to develop an optimum design that improves the street for walking and cycling.

There will be further opportunities to respond to the designs as they are refined.
The aim is for final designs to be completed by May 2017.
Subject to Committee approval and funding availability, the intention is to begin construction in 2017/18.
