Please see below:
The Mound will see a two-way cycle lane on the east side of the street and a bus gate at North Bank Street stopping cars between 6am and 10pm.
On George IV Bridge, the road will be narrowed to allow more space for pedestrians and a two-way segregated cycle lane. Traffic lights with pedestrian crossings will be installed at the junction of George IV Bridge with Chambers Street.
Candlemaker Row will be open to buses and cycles only. And the road will be narrowed near the Greyfriars Bobby statue, with an improved pedestrian area.
Forrest Road will be pedestrianised, with traffic banned in a bid to promote active travel and provide additional space for seating and outdoor cafes. And Bristo Place and Teviot Place will become two-way to allow for the closure of Forrest Road.
