Council limit is 1 mile (it's possibly a 1km limit)<br /> - Due to costs involved a tram contribution would potentially put the project over funding available<br /> - Initial plans were submitted before council brought in tram contribution requirement so not required<br /> - Tram contribution policy does not specifically mention football stadiums </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=16733#post-227274 Sat, 13 Aug 2016 00:19:32 +0000 Nelly 227274@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>They will have to pay a tram contribution due to proximity to tramstop.</p> <p>Apparently, Jim Clydesdale (the man with the plan) states he knows no one who used the tram to go to Tynecastle.</p> <p>I'm sure he did a real and proper survey to come up with that pearler.......... </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=16733#post-227261 Fri, 12 Aug 2016 20:27:24 +0000 Fountainbridge 227261@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Plans are now on the Edinburgh council planning portal for the new stand at Tynecastle Stadium.</p> <p>Call me a cynic, but the ground floor plans are very poor quality on the portal compared to the other floors. The ground floor plans are the ones most people want to look at. Number of parking spaces, cycle racks, pavement widths etc</p> <p><a href="https://goo.gl/zKiwF4" rel="nofollow">https://goo.gl/zKiwF4</a> </p>
