Follow Up Information: Arboretum Place Public Realm and Streetscape Proposals

I wanted to follow up with some additional information after our community pop up event on the 7th March.

I’d like to pass on our thanks to the Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh again for hosting us.  It was a beautiful sunny day and it was a great spot to have our information stand.   

We spoke with many members of the local community and some passing visitors.  Thank you if you managed to make it along, it was really lovely to meet some members of the Community Council and the Friends of Inverleith Park in person as well as welcome partners from The City of Edinburgh Council.  We received some valuable feedback and comments.

Keep updated

I’d like to highlight the Climate Ready Craigleith StoryMap for information on the current projects.   This includes some of the images of the proposals on Arboretum Place we shared on Saturday in case you were unable to attend.

Arboretum Place Public Realm and Streetscape Proposals

Community Pop Up Event Saturday 7th March

I am pleased to be getting in touch to inform you about a Community Pop Up event regarding improvements to Arboretum Place and the area in front of the Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh and Inverleith Park. 

With thanks to the Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh, we welcome you to join us to see the proposals on Saturday 7th March from 10:30 –  2:00 pm on the Ground Floor of the John Hope Visitor Centre, Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh, Arboretum Place, EH3 5NZ.  The venue is fully accessible.

Stop by to hear more about the project, see the proposals, meet the design team and share your feedback.

We are working with the City of Edinburgh Council to develop concept designs for improvements to the site, looking at the introduction of sustainable drainage measures along the length of Arboretum Place and around the entrances to Inverleith Park and the Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh, including placemaking opportunities between the two.  

This work forms part of Climate Ready Craigleith looking at flood management interventions and improvements across the catchment and sits under the cities overarching Climate Ready Edinburgh strategy.
