Muselburgh active travel proposed masterplan

We know that Musselburgh will be growing in the future and this study provides the opportunity to consider how this can be done more sustainably, without relying on private cars for journeys. The Masterplan aims to create an accessible network around Musselburgh to suit the needs of everyone moving in and through the area and connecting into Midlothian and Edinburgh.

A network of key Strategic Routes is proposed and would be supplemented with local routes and connections. The key strategic routes would transform the provision of active travel infrastructure in and around Musselburgh, improving conditions for people walking and cycling.

In developing the proposals, the consultants have already had valuable input from stakeholders, including Musselburgh & Inveresk Community Council, accessibility and equality groups, and active travel groups.

The consultants are keen to hear your views on the proposals. These are high-level plans at this stage and purely ideas to demonstrate the types of routes – the intention is to work with the communities and interest groups in shaping the Masterplan. Full details are available on the Consultation Hub.
