Prestonpans to Levenhall active travel improvements

Closes 2 Mar 2025

Opened 15 Jan 2025

Overview

East Lothian Council, through grant funding from Sustrans, has commissioned AECOM to develop initial designs on a safe and accessible route between Prestonpans and Levenhall, to improve the journey for those walking, wheeling or cycling in the area.

This project supports East Lothian’s Climate Change Strategy which aims to reduce carbon emissions and improve climate resilience. The route will also form a key connection, as part of the wider East Lothian Active Travel Improvement Plan, to several routes including Musselburgh Active Toun (MAT), the John Muir Way, and National Cycle Network Route 76 (NCN 76).

Why your views matter

The purpose of this survey is to record your views on the initial proposals for the Prestonpans to Levenhall route. Please take a few minutes to familiarise yourself with the proposed design drawings before completing this survey. These can be found at:

Each design drawing opens with an introductory slide, outlining the key features on that section of the route. You can access the full version of each drawing by scrolling past this introductory slide.
