Queensferry High Street – consultation on specific proposals

Officials leading on the £1 million project to upgrade and renew the Queensferry High Street have now published specific proposals for consultation.

A special consultation event was held on Monday 24 September.  However, you can still feed in your views using this online survey.

The last round of consultation showed an almost exact three way split in views on the different options presented (limit on HGVs, one way only, no through road).  There was more than three to one support for using natural stone setts for the surface as opposed to tarmac.

Officials are now proposing the one way system, with a traffic light controlled junction at the west end of the High Street at The Loan and a new crossing point for pedestrians. HGVs would only be allowed at certain times of the day.

The west side pavement would also be extended on the Loan going round the corner to Hopetoun Road.

The surface of the High Street would be replaced with robust stone setts.
