Overview

As part of the Levenmouth Connectivity Project Active Travel Network, which is being delivered jointly by Fife Council and Green Action Trust as part of the Leven Programme, the River Park Routes (RPR) proposed development is a new path network for shared use between walkers, wheelers and cyclists within the River Leven valley.

The River Park Routes project will deliver approximately 11km of new and upgraded off-road paths within the river valley, providing links through the proposed River Park area and across the river, connections to the new rail line crossings and to the wider active travel network.

The River Park Routes will provide shared use paths 3-4m wide for active travel access for all within the Leven River Park. 

The River Park Routes path network will also provide improvements including new lighting alongside the paths, new benches/seating/rest areas, natural play opportunities, new native tree, shrub, hedgerow and wildflower planting, the integration of SuDs and a new active travel bridge over the river and public space at the existing Burn Mill Dam.

Why your views matter

An online questionnaire to comment on the proposals can be reached at the Have your say link further down this page and will be available until 26 May 2023.

Public collaboration and consultation is at the heart of our approach to the regeneration of the River Leven and its surrounding communities.

When one of our projects reaches a key stage, we look for community feedback and input on our proposals.

Are there ways I can follow progress or get more involved?

There are various ways you can remain informed on Leven Programme projects and get involved yourself.
