Summary
Edinburgh’s St Andrew Square is set for a major transformation with a £2.75 million upgrade designed to make it safer and more inviting for walkers, cyclists, and wheelchair users. New protected cycle lanes, wider pavements up to six meters, and reconfigured parking—including more blue badge spots—will reshape the square into a vibrant, accessible hub. The project ties into Edinburgh’s broader active travel goals, aiming to boost foot traffic, support local businesses, and encourage greener commuting—all while enhancing the city center’s appeal. Bids are now open, with submissions due by July 30.
