A CYCLE route could soon run from Aberdeen city centre to Westhill — but major traffic changes are being proposed to make it happen.
A “Dutch-style” roundabout, new bus lanes, and more safe crossing places could all be introduced to the busy route.

The extensive plans also include narrowing roads, changing roundabouts and removing city centre parking.
Queen’s Road could be narrowed to accommodate the cycle track and footway, removing the on-street parking. This could impact people parking near Albyn School, St Margaret’s School, the office buildings and some residential properties.
The proposed cycle paths could also stop people from parking on Carden Place, Skene Street and Rosemount Viaduct – all areas with businesses, homes and schools where parking would be required.
More details on the plans are available from developers Stantec here.
