Heartened to see lots of Hillhead pupils cycling at the end of the school day. Sunken-hearted that there was no #spacefordistancing due to parents parked on the pavement (engines idling) & University of Glasgow’s failure to provide safe infrastructure as part of its £billion redevelopment
Looks like some things are going back to normal. Bus parked in cycle lane on University Avenue University of Glasgow #paintisnotprotection
We need Glasgow City Council to step up and provide safe COP26 Conference Active Travel Lanes, direct & protected from motor vehicles. Sticking up signs for a 2 mile diversion is simply not enough. Coordination with police around the use of Finnieston ST & Expressway Cycle Path is needed.

So irritating that for reasons I am waiting on a bus home and I know I could have biked it by now if there was a safe suitable evening route! Glasgow City Council East Dun Council University of Glasgow
The first stage (Partick Cross - University Avenue) of the Glasgow City Region work to improve the public realm on #ByresRoad will begin in January 2023. This work will bring economic & environmental benefits to the area. Find out more 👉 ow.ly/QShf50LxpGT
Glasgow active travel campaigners have welcomed the move, saying it'll help congestion and air quality, as well as encouraging people to cycle. space4people ByresRd say surveys found around 70% of shoppers arrived on Byres Road on public transport, bike or on foot.
space4people ByresRd Glasgow's west end is home to a large student population. Many have welcomed the plans. They say Byres Road's pavements are often incredibly congested and highlighted long wait times at pedestrian crossings.
