Despite city leaders calling it essential for managing rapid growth and national strategic importance, the data remains inconclusive. Two route options spark debate: the Roseburn Path, heavily opposed by 68%, or the Dean Bridge via Orchard Brae, which drew less resistance. With a final decision looming in September, the council will weigh whether to proceed, tweak, or pause the project—armed with more data than ever before.
