Go Bike East Dunbartonshire Newsletter Spring 2000
An opportunity on our doorstep!
June 21st will see the opening of the 5000 mile National Cycle
Network, of which the nearest section to East Dunbartonshire is the
Glasgow to Loch Lomond Path. With a little will-power, East
Dunbartonshire could have its very own Cycle Network, linking into the
National one.
The development of the Allander (Walk)way into a shared-use path, the
provision of a bridge over the Allander at its confluence with the River
Kelvin, and an access agreement concerning the former railway line from
Bardowie to Balmore would give a continuous off-road leisure route from
Milngavie to the Canal at Cadder.
Improvements already planned to the Allander path, Allander Toll (where
the path now goes under the road), and at Balmore make this route much more
achievable. This highlights the need for the Council to make the
correct decision regarding the Auchenhowie
Rd junction.
Cycling Liaison Meetings.
The staff changes within the Council caused the postponement of the last meeting between Go-Bike and Council officials. Under current legislation, developers are required to put greater emphasis on access for pedestrian and cycle traffic than for motor vehicles. We are keen to discuss this with the Council in relation to the housing development in Bishopbriggs.
Social Evening
Regular Go Bike! social evenings are held at The Stables. The Stables is located at the crossing of the A803 Kirkintilloch Road and the canal. Non-members welcome. Check this web site or local press for details.
