00:00 A public meeting on Wednesday June 5th 2024 heard both sides of the debate on the best
00:07 route for Edinburgh's proposed new north-south tram line from Grantown to the Royal Infirmary
00:12 and beyond. The Council is considering whether to use the former railway line, which is now
00:18 the Roseburn cycle path, or take the on-street option, which would involve going up Orchard
00:23 Bray and across Dean Bridge. The meeting at Augustin United Church and George IV Bridge
00:29 was organised by cycle campaign group Spokes and attended by up to 180 people. Putting
00:36 the case for the Roseburn path was ex-Labour councillor and former Transport Convener Lesley
00:41 Hines.
00:42 "Quicker, more reliable, minimises the impact on existing streets during construction. Quicker
00:43 construction, less impact on other networks such as businesses, general car traffic, buses
00:44 and residents. I believe the project is at lower risk utilities. Anyone who went through
00:45 the Roseburn path, who was a former transport convener, was at a higher risk of being hit
00:46 by a bus or a train. I think it's a good idea to have a public meeting on Wednesday
