Glasgow City Council is holding an online consultation and walk-in session to assess proposals for improved active travel routes, serving communities in the North East of Glasgow and connecting to the City Centre.

We are proposing a number of changes to improve the environment for cyclists, pedestrians, local residents and businesses, and to reduce sustainable transport journey times.

These proposals include:

• 5 km of segregated cycle routes

• Road space reallocation and traffic calming measures

• Upgraded surfacing on footways and cycle routes

• Improved pedestrian crossing facilities

A public drop in session will be held on:

Wednesday 8^th August
3pm – 7pm
Beatroute Arts Centre
285 Wallacewell Road
G21 3RP

This consultation will focus on proposed designs for segregated cycle routes and improved pedestrian facilities on Wallacewell Road, Northgate Road, Balornock Road, Broomfield Road, Red Road, Petershill Road, Turner Road and Cobden Road.

Information and an online survey will be available via www.glasgow.gov.uk/neatr from 25^th July, for a period of 4 weeks. This will provide an opportunity for residents and businesses to provide comments on the proposals that might assist with the detailed layout. The closing date for consultation will be the 22^nd August.

Following a successful pilot across 8 city centre streets, the Commercial Waste Project was extended to include the entire city centre on 1^st April 2018. This ensures that large, bulky commercial waste containers are no longer left permanently stored on our city centre streets or lanes causing obstructions and creating environmental issues. As the project rolls out to other areas we want to evaluate the impact on the businesses, residents and visitors of Glasgow and your views and opinions are an important part of this process. 

We are looking for you to help us create our draft BSL Action Plan. We really want feedback from BSL users to ensure we are representing your views in the plan. 

We will use your feedback to develop our draft action plan and have this available for further comment later in the Summer.

We are looking for suggestions on how we can improve accessing our services, education, employment, health, sport, culture and arts, democracy and decision making and any other comments you may have.

You can make suggestions for our draft plan in a number of ways:

• In BSL by uploading a video to You tube and send the link to BSL@glasgow.gov.uk
• Online here: https://glasgowcc.dialogue-app.com/
• By email to: BSL@glasgow.gov.uk
• By post to: Strategic Policy and Planning, Glasgow City Council, City Chambers, George Square, Glasgow, G2 1DU
• Or via contact Scotland by calling 0141 287 0411

If you need any help responding to the consultation you can contact us by emailing BSL@glasgow.gov.uk and we will be happy to support you in responding in the way you prefer.

During the European Championships taking place in Glasgow in August 2018, part of Glasgow Green will be used for ‘Go Live at the Green’, an activity zone providing a variety of free public engagement and entertainment facilities.  The area will also host the start and finish zone for three cycle road race events.  During this period (31^st July to 12^th August) general public access rights under the Land Reform (Scotland) Act 2003 will be suspended in this part of the Green for safety and security purposes, although there will be free entry to the ‘Go Live’ activity zone each day via secure entry points during operating hours (10am and 7pm). Access restrictions will affect part of the River Road (known as the Clyde Walkway/National Cycle Route 75) only during cycle race events. This consultation is to provide the public with an opportunity to comment on the access arrangements.

Following on from consultations held throughout the year for Connecting Woodside (formerly Woodside Mini-Holland) GCC and Sustrans will be holding a public walk-in engagement event with a supplementary online consultation to gather further comment. 

This engagement event will focus on specific sections of the project.  These are:

• Garscube Road
• North Woodside Road crossing at Maryhill Road

We are proposing a number of changes to improve the environment for cyclists, pedestrians, local residents and businesses. New designs could see the implementation of:

• New pedestrian crossings
• Segregated cycle lanes
• Reallocation of road space.
• Junction Redesign at Garscube Road / Possil Rd Cross and Garscube Rd/Firhill
• Crossing reallocation and Public space treatment of North Woodside Road at Maryhill Road

A public drop in session will be held on:
