Scottish city's streets to be transformed with new cycle paths and road designs

STREETS are set to be transformed with new cycle paths and road designs in the Yorkhill and Kelvingrove areas of Glasgow.

People are being asked to give their feedback on proposals and can view images showing how the streets could look after changes.

The aim of the Connecting Yorkhill and Kelvingrove project is to prioritise people over cars, improve public spaces, reduce traffic speed and the number of vehicles and make connectivity better, according to the council.

Detailed plans of how public spaces would look are available for Kelvinhaugh Street, Derby Street, Parkgrove Terrace and Kelvingrove Street.

Changes being put forward include a new public space area at Kelvingrove Park entrance. The space between Kelvingrove Park and Kelvingrove Square would be pedestrianised on Parkgrove Terrace proposals show.

Early concept design ideas can be viewed for Corunna Street, St Vincent Crescent and Minerva Street.

The council is asking if people would prefer to make Corunna Street one way north bound for traffic or keep it as a two way.

The council said: “Our Connecting Yorkhill and Kelvingrove project will improve public spaces and make it easier and safer to walk, wheel and cycle for everyday journeys.”

The active travel project is being funded by Transport Scotland via Sustrans.

To take part in the survey visit: www.smartsurvey.co.uk/s/ConnectingYorkhillAndKelvingrove2025/ The deadline is April 27.
