The project, funded by Sustrans, targets new infrastructure in the northern area of Oban, encouraging walking, wheeling, and cycling — particularly around The Corran Esplanade and George Street.  

LUC’s transport planners and landscape architects are leading the project, public engagement, and collaboration with Sustrans, Argyll & Bute Roads Officers, and Transport Scotland. Our involvement includes coordinating surveys, exploring traffic management efficiencies, and advising on long-term travel planning measures. 

The team has led the development of an area access framework, options, visuals, and will oversee the Stage 2 Concept Design. 

LUC’s public consultation is helping us gain insights into the priorities of the local community. This was achieved through a virtual consultation room, a focus group with S4 pupils, and a workshop with the Oban Access Forum during Stage 2 of the design process.
