Envisaged as a 20-year plan, it will unlock small scale projects across the city including signage improvements and speed limit reductions. It also forms part of a long term strategy to improve sustainable travel in the city centre.

The scheme also includes a prioritised delivery programme of transport interventions which will encompass larger-scale interventions which would potentially be delivered in the medium to long term following further investigation, appraisal, and design.
Councillors supported the plan at the recent city growth and resources committee.
It is part of the European-wide Civitas Portis transportation project, which is worth £3.2million to the north-east led by Aberdeen City Council, and involves a consortium of council, university and private partners aimed at improving travel in the area.
The partners for the project also include Aberdeenshire Council, Nestrans, The Robert Gordon University, the University of Aberdeen, and Aberdeen Harbour Board.
