About the project

Introduction
We aspire to make Academy Street a safer, more accessible and more attractive place to spend time in; where businesses and retail thrive, whilst being respectful of the local history and identity of Academy Street within Inverness City. People walking, wheeling and cycling will be our priority over vehicle movements.
We aim to inspire and support the community and stakeholders to help make this happen, ensuring everyone's views are taken into account.
Strong links will be established between this and associated projects that serve to enhance and develop Inverness City Centre.

As we approach the start of the Traffic Regulation Order (TRO), which is the formal public consultation for this project, we are analysing all the comments that have been received on Commonplace since the project first went live in 2022.
Ahead of the TRO, we will publish the details of how any member of the public can provide feedback on the proposed design for Academy Street as part of this consultation process.
