This isn’t a final decision yet, and work wouldn't start immediately – but being recommended for Visitor Levy funding is a big milestone for the project.

We’ll share updates after the committee meeting on the 11th of February. 3/3

Looks like we might just get a dry weekend – perfect time to head along and give it a shot! 🌤️

A huge amount of craft, collaboration and care has gone into shaping this new riverside space – led by @wolct.bsky.social project in collaboration with The Edinburgh Wheels Project & Odyssey Skateparks.

You’ll find The Dock tucked in beside Great Junction St bridge, right by the Water of Leith walkway.

This is a huge win for our community and proof of what’s possible.

This is a really good alternative now the crossing's in place (felt like running the gauntlet before). Shows how small changes can have a big impact.

The section around London Road is slightly convoluted, but, otherwise, it’s a pleasant ride and avoids mixing with traffic on all but the quietest of streets.

And here's the route – it connects lots of green spaces and is ideal for children and less confident cyclists.

It’s easy to get to by bus or bike, and just a short walk from recently relocated The Pitt, Silverknowes Promenade and Granton Castle Walled Garden.

Another good example of what can happen when derelict spaces are reimagined for people – and well worth a visit.
