Proposals for the streets crossing George Street

North Castle Street

A plan showing the proposals for Castle Street (North) as part of the George Street and First New Town project.
  • Pavements are widened and upgraded in natural Yorkstone slabs. 
  • Thistle Street crossings are raised tables to bring the road flush with the pavement and will be delineated with dark grey blister tactile paving.
  • Granite setts will replace the existing asphalt at the crossing point.
  • Parking bays on both sides of the street would change from perpendicular spaces to parallel spaces, to allow for widened pavements.
  • Parking bays are laid in granite setts, while the main road is shown in asphalt.
