The council wants to hear the views of local people, businesses and other organisations on a proposed new shared pedestrian and cycle link between the Roseburn Path and Union Canal.
The proposal includes the creation of a new shared pedestrian and cycle path including new bridge crossings and has been designed to:
- Deliver a high quality walking and cycling route.
- Improve connectivity across the city by completing an important missing link in the network.
- Integrate with the Council’s proposals for a ’QuietRoutes’ network.
- Provide safer, more direct and convenient access to key destinations by bike and on foot.
- Provide better access to green space and improve Dalry Community Park.

Getting healthier is only a walk away and it needn’t be a solitary affair. Edinburgh Leisure’s Gracemount Leisure Centre runs a free health walk at 10.30am every Tuesday.
Led by an Active Lives Project Officer, the walk is open to all adults irrespective of age or postcode and is tailored to each individual’s ability.
The various routes last between 30 minutes to 60 minutes. All walks go through the lovely green area of Burdie House Burn Park, peacefully away from the traffic, finishing back at Gracemount Leisure Centre for an optional cup of tea or coffee with the group. Everyone is welcome. Come alone or bring a friend.
