In early 2019, we asked people to tell us where they would like to see improved walking and cycling links on and around the site. Many people provided comments, some of which can be viewed on our Placecheck map.
These views have influenced a draft set of proposals for infrastructure improvements at several key areas around the site. We collected feedback on those proposals in early 2020 and developed them further to produce concept designs. The work has been possible thanks to funding and support from Sustrans Scotland’s Places for Everyone programme, funded by Transport Scotland. The intention is to submit concept designs by May 2021 and request further funding to enable detailed design work to be undertaken. The draft concept designs are available for comment. We are seeking the views of staff, patients and visitors, as well as local residents close to the hospital and people who travel regularly in the area. To view the proposals and provide your feedback in our survey please click the proposals section below.
Ninewells Active Travel Improvements
NHS Tayside is committed to improving access to its sites by active and sustainable travel modes, for existing users as well as potential new users. Over the past two years, work has been ongoing at Ninewells Hospital in partnership with Dundee City Council and Tactran, to identify potential improvements that will make it easier and safer for people to travel to the site on foot and by bike (and by wheelchair, scooter and buggy/pram).
