Sources 24 1 1. Summary information Location and boundaries The Inverleith Conservation Area is located to the north of the New Town Conservation Area, 1.5 kilometres north of the city centre and covers an area of 232 hectares. The conservation area is bounded by Ferry Road to the north, the western boundary of Fettes College, the eastern boundary of Warriston Cemetery and Comely Bank/Water of Leith/Glenogle Road to the south. The boundary includes Fettes College, Inverleith Park, the Royal Botanic Garden, Warriston Cemetery and Tanfield. The area falls within Inverleith, Forth and Leith Walk wards and is covered by the Stockbridge/Inverleith, Trinity and New Town/Broughton Community Councils. The population of Inverleith Conservation Area in 2011 was 4887. Dates of designation/amendments The conservation area was originally designated in October 1977. The boundary was amended in 1996 and again in 2006 to exclude areas which no longer contributed to the character of the conservation area. A conservation area character appraisal was published in 2006, and a management plan in 2010. The Stockbridge Colonies were removed from the Inverleith Conservation Area boundary in 2013 to form a separate conservation area.

Disbursement lists, receipts and bills have been located for the period 1763-1810. There is also an account book kept by William McNab (filed in the William McNab boxes in the RBGE Archive) detailing the names of individuals working in the ‘new’ (Inverleith) garden 1821-23. Gardening staff are (mostly) not specifically identified. The book is also difficult to read and awaits full transcription.

Proposed Cycle and Pedestrian Improvements, Between Inverleith Place and the Goldenacre Path
Proposed cycle and pedestrian improvements, between Inverleith Place and The Goldenacre Path Issue: QuietRoute 20 is an important part of Edinburgh’s network of routes for walking and cycling. The levels of traffic on parts of QuietRoute 20 are too high to meet the standards of the QuietRoute network. Purpose and context: The scheme will make it easier, safer and quicker for people walking and cycling along Inverleith Place, Inverleith Row and Warriston Gardens, travelling between Warriston Gardens and The Goldenacre Path, and as part of wider journeys in the north of the city. This will help people travelling on foot and by bicycle to reach local and key destinations, including schools, workplaces, shops and parks. The Council is developing a network of cycle routes across the city, called the ‘QuietRoutes’ network. We know that heavy or fast traffic is the most significant barrier preventing people who want to cycle from doing so. To address this the QuietRoutes are designed so that people can cycle without having to travel in heavy or fast traffic. QuietRoute 20 links Inverleith, the Royal Botanic Garden, Canonmills, Leith Walk, Easter Road, Lochend Park and Restalrig on quiet roads and traffic free paths. Proposed scheme: The Council is proposing: • A segregated cycleway along Inverleith Place; • Improvements to crossing facilities at the junction of Inverleith Place, Arboretum Road and Arboretum Place; • A new signalised crossing on Inverleith Row, to the south of its junction with Inverleith Place; • A segregated cycleway on the east side of Inverleith Row between Inverleith Place and Warriston Gardens; • A new ramp to connect Warriston Gardens and The Goldenacre Path.

INTRODUCTION This report gives an overview of public engagement exercises undertaken in the surrounding community of Leith Walk/Halmyre Street.

The report includes a full breakdown of the comments received to the council’s online questionnaire, and analysis of the feedback received.

Meadows to George Street Initial Response from Spokes – the Lothian Cycle Campaign, August 2018
Meadows to George Street Initial response from Spokes – The Lothian Cycle Campaign, August 2018 Introduction Spokes are very excited to see the launch of the Meadows to George Street project. As we will discuss in this submission, this is an arterial cycle route that is key to cycle connectivity not just in the city centre but across the city more broadly. It is therefore crucial that cycling is at the heart of this project, and that it delivers a route that is safe and attractive for cyclists of all abilities. The Meadows to George Street corridor is additionally a key area of public realm within the city centre and World Heritage Site. Accordingly, we we hope that the council will be bold in re-imagining the use of space throughout the route and transforming an area currently dominated by traffic to one that is a welcoming place for all and a showcase for the city that we want Edinburgh to be. We understand that the project is at an early stage and so this submission focuses on high level challenges in the existing space and opportunities for improvement, with suggested priorities for the project. Spokes were pleased to support the the Council when it made its initial bid for Community Links Plus funding for this project1 and we look forward to continuing to work in partnership with the project team. Key priorities 1. A high quality north-south cycle route that is safe and attractive for cyclists of all ages and abilities 2. Substantial reduction or elimination of general traffic 3.
