O streets of the city

LOCALS in Stobswell have been calling for improvements to Albert Street for years – and may see some of their wishes come true:

Implement a network of public spaces and pocket parks at Craigie Street, Eliza Street and Langlands Street to improve the area

Improve the environment at the Albert Street-Dura Street junction with new paving and street furniture

Develop “Stobswell Street Square” at the former TSB on Albert Street as an enhanced public space for the community

Bus build-outs on Albert Street to slow the flow of traffic and improve road safety

Gateway signage for all entrances to the Albert Street District Centre using the “Stobswell Scottie Dog”

Increase public art provision on Albert Street and install feature lighting on key public buildings

Upgrade footpaths and widen them to allow temporary cafe seating on Dura Street

Road engineering improvements to slow traffic and improve pedestrian movement on Albert Street

Install more public noticeboards on Albert Street

TRADERS and locals alike have shaped the three projects outlined for the Broughty Ferry shopping area:

Landscaping improvements to Gray Street and Queen Street around the area of the car park

Upgrades and improvements to pavements on Fort Street to improve the quality of the area

Signage plans to welcome people into the area, guide them around, and an interpretation board – essentially an information point – to guide people around the area
