Amendment by the SNP Group Transport & Environment Committee 22 May 2025 Item 7.5 - City Mobility - Plan Capital Investment Plan Prioritisation Outputs Amends 1.1.5 to read: Approve the list of projects and programmes that it is proposed to pause work on, set out in Appendix 5 with the exception of The Causey Project (West Crosscauseway), Portobello Town Centre (20- minute neighbourhood) and A71 Heriot Watt to Sighthill Active Travel Improvements, which should be changed from ‘pause’ to ‘proceed’. Agrees to defer any decision on pausing Cross Streets (North Castle Street (cross streets), Hanover Street North – Public Realm, Cycling & Ped Improvements and Frederick Street (North and South) until the next Transport and Environment Committee due to their crucial operational inter-relationship to the success of the George Street Project. Notes that all projects are within large funding envelopes and therefore agrees that projects which are “unpaused” will be funded through reprioritisation of existing funding packages, and reallocation of slippage in other projects. Agrees this for the following reasons: The Causey Agrees that despite the scoring of this particular project, The Causey represents over a decade of previous commitments from the council to the local community to progress the project and believes there is a serious reputational risk in any further delay to make progress on the ground (either in a phased approach or fully delivered). Understands that The Causey has at several times in its history as a project been allocated / earmarked funding through various streams including Place Based Investment Fund (PBIF) and allocations from the capital road renewals budget in addition to The Causey Development Trust securing funding and materials from other sources. Notes that the project has been hailed in our own reports as a model for community led placemaking and partnership working and is supported by Sustrans, Edinburgh University, Edinburgh World Heritage, Scot…
Page 2 of 3 Further requests that The Causey is additionally treated as a candidate for the Visitor Levy Funding, through any appropriate strands including as a candidate for the City Transformation strand, and Heritage Strand. Portobello Town Centre Notes that the justification for pausing the Portobello Town Centre project, currently within a cost band of £10m-£30m, is because it has a ‘significant public realm focus meaning external funding opportunity via ATIF Tier 2 likely limited’. Therefore agrees this project will refocus on original objectives of reducing through traffic on Portobello High Street and reallocating road space to walking. Notes pressures and conflicts particularly along the promenade between cyclists, dog walkers, older people and children and the risks this poses. Also notes that there are traffic and congestions problems on the High Street, particularly at peak times. Agrees the project should continue, focusing on these two aspects which should improve the opportunity for funding via ATIF Tier 2. A71 Heriot Watt to Sighthill Active Travel Improvements Notes: that a cycling connection along A71 from Bankhead Avenue across bypass to Heriot Watt links directly with the Curriehill Station to Heriot Watt active travel proposal; that this provides vital active travel connection to City centre, to places of employment and to Edinburgh College Sighthill Campus; that this connection provides a dedicated active travel route across the city bypass and connects to Ratho and rapidly expanding communities along A71 corridor including Calderwood. Therefore, due to its significant strategic cross-boundary connectivity, agrees that this project should continue. Notes: that paragraphs 4.7, 4.10 and 4.19 make reference to funding on a single year basis. Committee notes that in presenting the Programme for Government, the First Minister referred to ongoing discussions with the UK Government to achieve multi-year funding, identifying the benefit this would brin…
