Councillors will discuss the viability of the possible extension of the tram in Edinburgh.
The update will be heard by Full Council on Thursday, 25 June and will present the emerging conclusions of a draft Outline Business Case, which evaluates the extension of the tram to either Newhaven, Ocean Terminal, the foot of Leith Walk or MacDonald Road.
Further work is now to be carried out, including a formal market consultation, testing and auditing of the financial model and an investigation of alternative funding options, ahead of the final decision in autumn.
