Roseburn tram line report set for spring
CITY leaders have confirmed a report on the under-fire tram line 1B between Roseburn and Granton will be presented to the council in the spring.
The 87 million extension to Edinburgh's tram line is considered by many as a "non-starter" as tram project costs soar and the economy stutters. But city leaders have insisted a decision on its future has still to be taken.
The Roseburn-to-Granton spur has been a controversial part of the proposed tram network, not least because it would run along the Roseburn Urban Wildlife Corridor. TIE has secured a fixed price of 87m for the line – if it can commit to the project by the spring.
Councillor Phil Wheeler, the city's transport leader, said: "Phase 1b will be reviewed in the New Year."
