Richard Murphy architects, screenshot of video modelling showing buses travelling along Princes St on existing timetables, with 2 traffic lanes plus lengthy bus bays. See next image for more background Description of the buses video.. we took the trouble ourselves to make a one-hour movie of bus and tram movements on a weekday 9-10am as per their current timetables (plus buses that currently stop in Frederick st but under our proposals would move to Princes st). You can look at it yourself at the foot of our website page: https://www.richardmurphyarchitects.com/Princes-Street-Gardens-Edinburgh-Open-Consultation Part of Richard Murphy web page... Our suggestions for the north side of Princes Street are: Close the Frederick Street/Princes Street junction (it is only used by buses and taxis) in the same way that the Castle Street/Princes Street junction was closed some years ago. Both Frederick Street and Castle Street termini would be for the use of taxis. Buses could re-route using Hanover Street. Concentrate the bus stops around those two ex-junctions allowing for two buses to be at each bus stop (one loading/unloading and one waiting). Introduce a cycle path between buses and pavement Between those groups of bus stops extend the pavement out to the tram lane and pave with a significant design. Build stone planters/seats against the buses and plant continuous evergreen planting to obscure the lower sections of buses but not the view of the castle and old town etc. Plant trees in these areas so soften the street on this side and turn Princes Street into a boulevard, providing genuine shade in the summer. Encourage hotels, café and restaurants to open along with residential developments. Richard Murphy artists impression of Princes St with wide footways & bike lanes.
