Belmont Street
Within the Belmont Street Quarter, the proposals rationalise the carriageway to allow for the permanent introduction of external spill-out spaces for cafés, restaurants and bars along with public seating whilst allowing for service vehicle access to be maintained.
Market Streetscape
The redevelopment of Aberdeen Market will see a much greater footfall in the area, altering the existing character into a safe, vibrant and exciting area of Aberdeen City Centre. The scope area is split into three phases. Phase 1 is creating the connection between Union Street, the Market and down to the station via Carmelite Street and area immediately around the Market. This will improve the through-route from the Market across Hadden Street, down Carmelite Street onto Wapping Street, Guild Street and into the train and bus stations.
Schoolhill & Upperkirkgate
Located north of the Union Street Central zone, Schoolhill and Upperkirkgate is an area of the city containing a number of landmark buildings and visitor attractions including the Kirk of St Nicholas and Aberdeen Art Gallery. Schoolhill and Upperkirkgate streetscape project will provide improved public realm which prioritises pedestrians with reduced vehicular access and enhanced experience for walking and wheeling. Where possible, carriageway widths will be reduced to allow footways to be widened. This will extend the implemented works around the War Memorial and Art Gallery and create a permanent space for street activities and public art at Upperkirkgate.
Union Street East
Union Street East’s location to the east of the city centre provides a gateway with linkage to the Beachfront via the Castlegate. The Union Street East streetscape project shall provide enhanced public realm along Union Street from Market Street to where it joins the Castlegate.
