Powderhall Junction

Following in-person and online discussions with the public which began in September 2022, engineering and design consultants Stantec have updated plans to reconfigure the Powderhall Junction.

The preferred option aims to improve safe and inclusive connectivity and to encourage active travel through the intersection of McDonald Rd, Broughton Road, St Mark’s Path and the entrance to the future housing development.

Features of the final design include:

• advanced stop lines and maximised approach lanes for cyclists

A community engagement event to discuss latest plans for the Broughton Road/McDonald Rd/St Mark’s Path junction will take place on Wednesday 24 January (3.30–7.00pm) in the Link building classrooms at Broughton Primary School.

The junction requires attention because of its proximity to the school and the imminent arrival of new housing on the sites of the former bowling greens and Powderhall Waste Transfer Station.

Consultants Stantec aim to encourage and prioritise active travel and make it safer.

City of Edinburgh Council seeks Sustrans Places for Everyone (PfE) funding to improve the junction of Broughton Road, McDonald Road, St Mark’s Path, and the entry to the forthcoming Powderhall development for all users.
