The project proposals
West Granton Road
- one-way, cycle lanes that are separated from traffic on the north and south side of West Granton Road
- routing cycle lanes around the back of bus stop areas
- improving existing and building more pedestrian crossings
- improving West Granton Access junction for pedestrians
- installing raised tables (speed humps) at minor side roads
- developing the roundabout at the end of Pennywell Road so cyclists can travel around it, separate from traffic. Zebra crossings will be at every access/exit to the roundabout.
- West Granton Road will still have single traffic lanes in each direction.

Outdoor spaces
We want to create outdoor areas for socialising and play that are

- easy to access
- well lit
We will also build in sustainable measures like drainage systems that will help reduce the risk of flooding and help with climate resilience.
