Connecting Woodside - Phase 2 - Raeberry Street Community Engagement

The Connecting Woodside is an area-based project designed to deliver lasting improvements that are accessible, attractive and enjoyed by nearby residents and active travel users. 

The project will help to grow an active travel culture so that all, young and old, feel safe and comfortable making their daily journeys. The project will also help to deliver a better quality of life in a social environment for residents and visitors to the area. Improving the cycling infrastructure and facilities will also help to make cycling safer and more accessible for all, which will encourage people to cycle instead of drive for shorter journeys.

Creating better streets, larger footways, increased size and access to green spaces and, the attractiveness of everyday active travel, Connecting Woodside will connect Raeberry Street with the wider Woodside, Garscube and Canal area enhancements.

Raeberry Street quietway purpose is to break down the barriers to active travel by providing a low traffic route with increased visibility for those that are less comfortable on busy routes and wish to travel at a gentler pace, that is inviting to all users with varying abilities. Providing connectivity to the main employment, leisure and schooling areas of the city, as well as the surrounding neighbourhoods of Woodside, North Kelvin and Hillhead. Raeberry Street will offer an improved environment for pedestrians with greater permeability, inviting green spaces and seating. Additionally, the street will offer a low traffic, active travel connection which is accessible to all travellers, local residents and commuters.
