The more that people choose walking, wheeling and cycling the better the environment and the safer the streets.

APPENDIX 3 Edinburgh Strategic Sustainable Transport Study Phase 2 Edinburgh Strategic Sustainable Transport Study Phase 2 Summary Report Summary Report

Emerging Route Options Executive Summary Introduction The Council commissioned the Edinburgh Strategic Sustainable Transport Study Phase 1 (ESSTS1) in early 2020 to establish a policy-led rationale for future mass transit in the city. The study considered ten corridors where transit could best support policy outcomes. Four were recommended for further consideration with two prioritised for further development in the near term. These are Granton to the city centre and onwards to the south east quadrant of the city serving Edinburgh Royal Infirmary, Bio-Quarter and beyond. The Council commissioned a further Phase 2 study (ESSTS2) to further analyse the Granton and South East corridors, establishing corridor specific objectives, assessing possible route options, and carrying out preliminary analysis to support the case for mass transit. In bringing forward ESSTS2, a Project Board has been established, comprising senior officers from the Council and Transport Scotland's Head of Strategic Planning, to oversee the project and ensure rigorous governance is in place from the outset. The ESSTS2 study is now complete and this Executive Summary outlines the conclusions and the next steps for project development. Policy and Objectives The continued success and growth of the Edinburgh Region, in an inclusive and sustainable manner, will require the development and implementation of a coordinated approach to economic development, spatial planning and transport. At a national level, this coordinated approach is being advanced through the Scottish Government's National Planning Framework and National Transport Strategy (NTS) and, in support of the NTS, the Strategic Transport Projects Review 2 (STPR2). At an Edinburgh City level, the forthcoming City Plan 2030 (CP2030) will set out the Granton to the City Centre spatial strategy and land allocations to 2030, which will be supported by the City Mobility Plan (CMP). The alignment of Option A1 follows West Granton Access Road from Ferry Road to Caroline Park. This option ESSTS2 has examined strategic transport corridors within, and potentially beyond, Edinburgh to assess is the existing safeguarded route and provides a direct and segregated tram and parallel high-quality active whether, and how, the development of transit-led solutions could deliver against stated transport objectives travel route. From the southerly tip of A1, two options are being taken forward for further analysis, Option B1b and support wider policy outcomes such as sustainable economic growth, reducing carbon, promoting equity and Option B2 and social inclusion and supporting healthier lifestyles. The report concludes that mass transit will contribute significantly to realising these outcomes. The route of Option B1b ties in with the existing tram line at Roseburn and then follows the Roseburn Path from the A8 to Ferry Road, west of Crewe Toll. The alignment is fully segregated, following an old railway track bed, As is the case with the completed tram line from Edinburgh Airport to Newhaven, the introduction of mass and now an active travel corridor and part of NCN1. The alignment is the safeguarded route for transit with transit linking strategic development areas and bisecting the city centre will be a key enabler for sustainable existing construction powers in place. The route has enhanced active travel provision, in accordance with development and will contribute significantly to: current design guidance. A target foot/cycle path width would be 4.5-5.0m, with 3.5m at pinch-points. To § Supporting the development of more sustainable neighbourhoods achieve the design requirements however, the majority of existing structures would be demolished and replaced. § Provide improve connectivity to support sustainable city expansion and prosperity The route of Option B2 runs ties in with the existing tram line at Shandwick Place at the west end of Princes § Improving access to high quality public transport and encouraging mode shift from private cars Street and assumes an on-street route following Queensferry Road, Orchard Brae and Crewe Road South.

The route would leave the existing route at Princes Street / South St David Street and continue east along Princes St to Emerging Route Options North Bridge. It would then follow North and South Bridge connecting into Section D above at Nicholson Square. A number of route options between Granton and the South East have been assessed as part of ESSTS2 study.
