Dear Sir / Madam
Due to the adverse weather conditions and the current forecast for further snow. Today’s Jura Street consultation event at the Palace of Art, has been cancelled. Continue reading “Jura Street Consultation Event Today – 28 February **CANCELLED**”
Yes, folks, we have a couple of contentious situations in this issue. See Section 3, Consultations Feedback where we discuss whether Elmbank Street will provide northbound access to the Sauchiehall Street cycle lane, but first, see Section 1 for the threat to the so-called “shared space” along Cowgate, the main street in Kirkintilloch.

We have reduction in quantity but a considerable increase in interest in the consultations in this issue of our digest. Read on: Continue reading “Consultations Digest Issue 2, 06 February 2018 – Byres Road to the Barras to Kirkintilloch”
Do you have an hour to spare this coming Sunday morning? Some of our members have organised an appreciation event for the work happening on Sauchiehall Street. Here’s Euan with more:
“A safer, better Sauchiehall Street is currently under construction. There will be more space for people, complete with safe cycling provision! Come along this Sunday 28th Jan for 11am at ABC, Sauchiehall St to join us in showing support.”
Welcome to the first issue of our Consultations Digest, a regular post, updating you on consultations in these three areas:
So we will be giving you far more information than we have in the past and we hope that this will encourage you, as GoBike members, to not only give us your views as to how we should respond but also to put your views directly to the organisation that has issued the consultation.

Here’s a picture of the brand new Broomhill School and the City Council propose to make the road going up to the right on the picture one-way. But have they considered active travel and all the work other bits of the council do to encourage children to cycle to school? We fear they haven’t. So our letter to the council, GoBike Consultations Broomhill One Way 21 Dec 2017 about this plan, broomhill one way tro plan TRO201701501 confirms that we are happy with their proposal, provided that they maintain two-way cycling! Let’s hope that we are lucky with this one. Continue reading “Consultations: new and forthcoming in Glasgow, with even more speed cushions proposed for Santa’s sack”
Over the last year some of our members led by Euan, Iain and Jim have been working very hard on a ‘Space for People’ @peoplebyresroad campaign based around the planned changes to Byres Road. They’ve just put out a really interesting blog illustrating connections within our current cycling network, with suggestions on how Byres Road can help start to create better connections locally and also throughout the wider city network.
Have a read – it’s great – and if you like what you read give them a follow and a share. And thanks to you three for your excellent work.
