Active Travel Route from Causewayhead to Dunblane?

An Active Travel Route is for ‘walking, cycling or wheeling’.

Stirling Council is currently developing proposals for an active travel route connecting Dunblane to Causewayhead. This will be delivered in two phases:

   Phase 1: Bridge of Allan to Causewayhead

   Phase 2: Bridge of Allan to Dunblane

The concept designs for Phase 1 will be published for public consultation in spring 2025. At the same time, we will ask for the public’s views on how to develop the proposals for Phase 2.

Feasibility work on Phase 2 has been conducted to identify the most suitable route to improve Active Travel connections.

No final decision has been made on the proposals, and the purpose of the upcoming consultation is to hear the public’s views to inform the concept design.

The Sustainable Transport Team will work in partnership with the Council’s Lighting team to minimise any abortive works following the lighting upgrades currently underway.

Construction of Phase 1 is forecast to start in autumn 2025, subject to funding being secured from Transport Scotland and the City Region Deal. Construction of Phase 2 also relies on these external funders, as well as third party landowners, and at this early stage we are forecasting construction starts in autumn 2026.
