Consultations
Significant changes in traffic management for west Edinburgh have been proposed. At present there are three schemes covering St John's Road, East Craigs and Meadowplace Road.

A "filtered permeability" trial at Featherhall, starting in May 2020, was consulted on over a week at the end of May. Maps show the main scheme and an alternative closure point. (15th May 2020). Discussion at the 19th May Corstorphine Community Council meeting included possible consideration of use of Temporary Traffic Regulation Order (TTRO) as part of Covid-related road usage adjustments currently being implemented across the city. Further meetings of the Community Council and City Council representatives have taken place. Outcomes will be communicated soon.
An update and illustration is available on the proposed Rowanbank Gardens development at the site of the former Gylemuir Care Home. (8 May 2020) A presentation was made by the developer at the 19th May Corstorphine Community Council meeting, which included design revisions related to the feedback received at the February consultation event at the Corstorphine Hub. It is hoped that a further consultation event may happen in the summer but this is dependent on Covid restrictions.
