<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Putting the ‘Arg’ in Argyle St.</h2>



<p>Plans for Argyle St West have re-appeared as a Traffic Order, looking very similar to the last time we shook our heads at them.

<h4 class="wp-block-heading" id="one-one">1.1: Clydesdale Active Travel studies</h4>



<p><strong>Council:&nbsp;</strong>South Lanarkshire.<br><strong>Area:&nbsp;</strong>Clydesdale/Clyde Valley split into three (quite arbitrary) regions: North-west (Lesmahagow/Douglas), North-east (Carstairs/Biggar) and South (Abington/Leadhills). They miss out Carluke and Lanark, as these&nbsp;<a href="https://www.southlanarkshire.gov.uk/downloads/download/982/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">towns already have Active Travel studies</a>.<br><strong>Subject:</strong>&nbsp;Consultation on draft Active Travel Studies for each of the three areas (by Aecom). The M74/NCN74 corridor runs through the north-east and south areas but not all villages have paths to it. Recent active travel projects by the council in Clydesdale include Carstairs and Leadhills. Also, Leadhills is part of a joint active travel project to connect it to Wanlockhead, Dumfries &amp; Galloway. Further links between routes in South Lanarkshire, D&amp;G and Borders are part of the Clydesdale Way project.<br><strong>Website links:</strong>&nbsp;<a href="https://www.southlanarkshire.gov.uk/info/200147/transport_and_streets/2115/active_travel_projects/4" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Clydesdale Active Travel studies webpage</a>.<br><strong>Featured:</strong>&nbsp;<a href="https://www.gobike.org/consultation-digest-local-issue-129-16-february-2023-19231#one-one" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Digest 129, Item 1.1</a>.<br><strong>Deadline:&nbsp;19&nbsp;May 2023.</strong></p>



<h4 class="wp-block-heading" id="one-two">1.2: Connecting Yorkhill and Kelvingrove</h4>



<p><strong>Council:&nbsp;</strong>Glasgow City.<br><strong>Area:</strong>&nbsp;Phase 1 – Yorkhill North; Phase 2 – Yorkhill South; Phase 3 – Kelvingrove; Phase 4 – Corunna St &amp; Minerva St.<br><strong>Subject:</strong>&nbsp;Formerly ‘Yorkhill and Kelvingrove Cycling Village’ – still funded by Spaces for Everyone. Phase 1 proposals show a bi-directional cycletrack from Kelvin Way on Radnor St, Haugh Rd, Gilbert St and Sandyford St. The Gilbert/Sandyford corner links to a path to Centurion Way, the 2-way lanes on Ferry Rd (separate City Deal project) and the Expressway underpass to NCN7. Yorkhill St links south to Kelvinhaugh St and north to Old Dumbarton Rd (also City Deal). There are public realm improvements, new crossings and a new cycle hire station on Kelvinhaugh St. Most of this looks promising although it’s a 2-way cycletrack so could be tricky to join or leave (especially at diagonal crossing from Radnor St to Haugh Rd). It passes opposite Bike for Good and Dockyard Social (maybe partly to avoid&nbsp;<a href="https://goo.gl/maps/Z2oYh1CYdv8N42Uo9" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">loading vans</a>). Also, expect issues with car parking (used by visitors to the SEC, SWG3 and Finnieston).<br><strong>Featured:</strong>&nbsp;<a href="https://www.gobike.org/consultation-digest-local-issue-107-3-march-2022-16845#one-eleven" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Digest 107, 1.11</a>.<br><strong>Website links:</strong>&nbsp;<a href="https://storymaps.arcgis.com/stories/38b3e94303f44ebd8257be3da86a4ac1" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Connecting Yorkhill &amp; Kelvingrove storymap</a>.<br><strong>Deadline:&nbsp;21 May 2023.</strong></p>



<h4 class="wp-block-heading" id="one-three">1.3: Improving Southholm Roundabout (Erskine)</h4>



<p><strong>Council:&nbsp;</strong>Renfrewshire.<br><strong>Area:</strong>&nbsp;Old Greenock Rd/A726 junction south of Erskine.<br><strong>Subject:</strong>&nbsp;Revisiting one of the junctions from the Erskine junction safety consultation. Results were in favour of action to improve road safety. Southholm Roundabout is set amongst trees on the edge of town but hemmed in on the south-west by a low stone wall. There may be enough space for a proper&nbsp;<a href="https://bicycledutch.wordpress.com/2015/10/13/explaining-the-dutch-roundabout-abroad/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Dutch-style roundabout</a>&nbsp;(as speed limit is changing to 30mph). These tend to be single-lane with a cycle lane in a separate outer ring (crossings on each arm leave a gap for cars to stop). However, neither of the two options offers that. One proposal is for a single lane roundabout but it expands the centre instead of pulling the kerblines in. Both options have shared pavements too. Meanwhile, neighbouring&nbsp;<a href="https://www.eastrenfrewshire.gov.uk/article/5762/Work-on-key-active-travel-project-gets-underway-in-Newton-Mearns" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">East Renfrewshire’s Dutch-style roundabout at Malletsheugh on A77 is under construction</a>.

<h4 class="wp-block-heading" id="one-four">1.4: North Woodside Road Consultation</h4>



<p><strong>Council:&nbsp;</strong>Glasgow City.<br><strong>Subject:</strong>&nbsp;This project was started by Websters Theatre in 2020, as part of GCC’s “<a href="https://www.glasgow.gov.uk/article/26440/Animating-Spaces" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Animating Spaces</a>” initiative. Now part of Connecting Woodside, it’s back for further consultation. It’s about the stopped up end of North Woodside Rd at Great Western Rd outside the theatre (formerly Lansdowne Church). Active travel is mentioned, as well as a performance space, but there don’t seem to be any formal plans yet. Instead, there’s a survey and postcard.<br><strong>Featured:</strong>&nbsp;<a href="https://www.gobike.org/consultation-digest-local-issue-75-8-december-2020-12699#one-one" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Digest 75, Item 1.1</a>.<br><strong>Website links:</strong>&nbsp;<a href="https://www.smartsurvey.co.uk/s/ConnectingNorthWoodside/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">N Woodside Rd survey</a>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<a href="https://www.gobike.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/04/NWR-consultation-postcard-V3-reduced-April.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">postcard</a>.<br><strong>Deadline:&nbsp;29 May&nbsp;2023.</strong></p>



<h4 class="wp-block-heading" id="one-five">1.5: East Renfrewshire Third Local Development Plan</h4>



<p><strong>Council:&nbsp;</strong>East Renfrewshire.<br><strong>Subject:</strong>&nbsp;ERC are consulting about how best to engage people ahead of the new Local Development documents coming out.&nbsp;<em>“Stage 1: Pre-Engagement Surveys. The first stage is finding out how communities and other stakeholders want to engage on LDP3 preparation and receive updates.”</em><br><strong>Website links:</strong>&nbsp;<a href="https://erldp.commonplace.is/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">East Renfrewshire Third Local Development Plan Commonplace website</a>.<br><strong>Deadline:&nbsp;31 May&nbsp;2023.</strong></p>



<h4 class="wp-block-heading" id="one-six">1.6: East Kilbride Town Centre Active Travel Network –&nbsp;Phase 1.4</h4>



<p><strong>Council:&nbsp;</strong>South Lanarkshire.<br><strong>Area:</strong>&nbsp;West Mains Road at its eastern end, from Creighton Grove to the Priestknowe (Three Bears) roundabout.<br><strong>Subject:</strong>&nbsp;Section of W Mains Rd past housing to link to bike paths on Churchill Ave. There are two options to continue east of the existing 1-way cycletracks (from zebra crossing). Option 1 has a short 2-way cycletrack then shared path, with green space made into a ‘pocket park’ (keeping most parking bays). Option 2 is mostly 2-way cycletrack, except for short breaks at disabled parking bays, then shared path round corner at roundabout. The latter would remove most of the current car parking spaces and convert the grass area into a residents car park. While the council have to keep residents on-side, it’s a bit of a Hobson’s choice between the two options. Also, SLC haven’t addressed links from Creighton Grove up to Hunter Community Health Centre and Andrew St, which need resurfacing/re-signed.<br><strong>Featured:</strong>&nbsp;<a href="https://www.gobike.org/consultation-digest-local-issue-110-14-april-2022-17193#two-three" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Digest 110, 2.3</a>.<br><strong>Website links:</strong>&nbsp;<a href="https://www.southlanarkshire.gov.uk/info/200147/transport_and_streets/2115/active_travel_projects/5" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">East Kilbride Town Centre Active Travel Network –&nbsp;Phase 1.4 webpage</a>.<br><strong>Deadline:&nbsp;2 June 2023.</strong></p>

The project was on hold during the pandemic so designs date from before the update of Cycling by Design (2021). Existing roadspace becomes one-way cycle lane weaved around car parking bays. We&#8217;ve previously heard that the shallow Argyle St rail tunnel dictates where ‘rain gardens’ can go. Apparently, that&#8217;s why the plans have planting nearer buildings and the cycle lane at the kerb. However, the zigzag bike lanes will be seen as Glasgow&#8217;s answer to the <a href="https://www.edinburghnews.scotsman.com/news/transport/edinburgh-residents-ridicule-leith-walk-bike-lane-as-council-is-accused-of-major-blunder-3647733" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">notorious lanes on Leith Walk</a>, Edinburgh.

<h4 class="wp-block-heading" id="one-eight">1.8: North Ayrshire Local Development Plan 3</h4>



<p><strong>Council:&nbsp;</strong>North Ayrshire.<br><strong>Subject:</strong>&nbsp;First consultation stage for the next Local Development Plan by North Ayrshire. It may be one of the first in Scotland under the new National Planning Framework 4 (NPF4 came into force in February 2023). As a result, it should have more emphasis on the environment, including active travel. Getting cycling routes/networks, developer obligations, etc. mentioned in the LDP makes them more likely to be delivered. Also, if developers proposals miss out or go against the LDP, these give people grounds to object and have plans altered or conditions added.<br><strong>Website links:</strong>&nbsp;<a href="https://northayrshireldp.commonplace.is/">North Ayrshire LDP3 consultation website</a>.<br><strong>Deadline:&nbsp;June 28 2023.</strong></p>



<h4 class="wp-block-heading" id="one-nine">1.9: North Lanarkshire Council – Green and open space survey</h4>



<p><strong>Council:&nbsp;</strong>North Lanarkshire.<br><strong>Subject:</strong>&nbsp;Survey and audit data to feed into an Open Space Strategy and other policies.&nbsp;<a href="https://www.gobike.org/consultation-digest-local-issue-103-6-january-2022-16452#two-two" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">NLC avoid on-street protected cycle lanes</a>, so anything affecting off-street paths could have a big impact on cycling in the county. Areas like the Seven Lochs Wetland Park have cross-border active travel routes (Hogganfield Loch to Drumpellier Country Park, Coatbridge). NL’s other country parks, Palacerigg (see above) and especially Strathclyde Park, are also havens for active travel. The latter has&nbsp;<a href="https://www.gobike.org/consultation-digest-local-issue-92-3-august-2021-14734#one-nine" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">added and upgraded paths near Bellshill</a>&nbsp;with more of&nbsp;<a href="https://www.gobike.org/consultation-digest-local-issue-128-02-february-2023-19161#one-five" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">NCN74 due to be re-routed through the park</a>. The council ignored a GoBike suggestion for links between Strathclyde Park, Duchess Park, Ravenscraig and the existing Greenlink route (as part of redevelopment of Airbles Rd). There’s potential for similar links around some of North Lanarkshire’s dozen nature reserves.

<h4 class="wp-block-heading" id="one-ten">1.10: Loch Lomond &amp; the Trossachs National Park Partnership Plan</h4>



<p><strong>Organisation:&nbsp;</strong>Loch Lomond &amp; the Trossachs National Park.<br><strong>Area:&nbsp;</strong>The park ranges from Loch Eck and Loch Goil in the west to Loch Earn and Callander in the east. Also, from Killin and Crianlarich in the north to Balloch in the south (but it misses out Helensburgh and Gare Loch).<br><strong>Subject:</strong>&nbsp;A wide-ranging five year plan for the park. It includes a section on ‘Low Carbon Travel for Everyone’. Cycle routes and active travel are mentioned briefly but most of the section is about buses. That may make sense, considering the size of the park, but it’s still a bit disappointing. There’s already a cycle route from Balloch up the west side of Loch Lomond (and there were&nbsp;<a href="https://www.gobike.org/consultation-digest-local-issue-97-15669#one-eleven" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">plans for an active travel route to Inverarnan as part of A82 works</a>).&nbsp;<a href="https://www.lochgoil-trust.org/projects/the-river-walk" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Active travel paths were extended along the River Goil in 2021</a>&nbsp;and there seems to be plenty of scope for more.<br><strong>Website links:</strong>&nbsp;<a href="https://lomondtrossachsfuture.commonplace.is/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Loch Lomond &amp; the Trossachs National Park Commonplace site</a>.<br><strong>Deadline: 19 July 2023.</strong></p>

<p><strong>Subject:&nbsp;</strong>An important report from the council about how the City Network will be delivered. The main headline is the phasing and distances planned. Phases 0 and 1 were covered in the previous Digest.&nbsp;No exact timescales were given except that whole network is intended to be complete within ten years (or 2030 in some reports).<br>Phase 2 – Yoker–Whiteinch (24km), Dennistoun–Carntyne (20km) and Greater Gorbals–Dalmarnock (19km). <br>Phase 3 – Anderston–Woodlands (22km), North Maryhill–Barmulloch (11km), North Cardonald–Pollok (13km) and Pollokshaws–Mansewood (9km).<br>Seeing Phase 3 alongside previous phases shows the area around the city centre would be covered. Also, that the distances drop off dramatically in “Mid Priority Clusters” from 22km in Anderston–Woodlands to 9km in Pollokshaws–Mansewood. <br>Phases 4 and 5 will be in the next Digest.<br><strong>Featured:</strong>&nbsp;<a href="https://www.gobike.org/consultation-digest-local-issue-134-04-may-2023-19537#two-one" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Digest 134, 2.1</a>.<br><strong>Website links:</strong>&nbsp;<a href="https://www.glasgow.gov.uk/councillorsandcommittees/submissiondocuments.asp?submissionid=108501" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">City Network – Delivery Plan report</a>.</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Putting it all together. </h2>



<p>August opens with Cycle to Work Day and plenty of Traffic Orders from Glasgow, East Ayrshire&nbsp;and East Dunbartonshire. There&#8217;s analysis of the event for the eastern side of Argyle St, with accessibility issues raised again. Also, a major city centre plan being pushed by GCC (with several emails to GoBike). It has a few surprises which could help connect the city centre. (Tonight&#8217;s Digest was delayed by connection and commuting issues –apologies.)</p>



<span id="more-18038"></span>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Forthcoming consultations</h3>



<p>The second stage of consultation about the Raeberry Street Quietway&nbsp;is due to open tomorrow (5 August). This follows the <a href="https://www.gobike.org/consultation-digest-local-issue-99-11-november-2021-15879#one-twelve" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">first phase consultation from late 2021</a> and is part of the wider <a href="https://www.glasgow.gov.uk/connectingwoodside" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Connecting Woodside project</a>. Also starting soon (about a year after the Traffic Order) is the <a href="https://www.gobike.org/consultation-digest-local-issue-90-6-july-2021-14538#three-three" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">North Kelvin/North Woodside Restricted Parking Zone</a>. </p>

<h3 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>1: Current Consultations</strong><br>(in date order for responses)</h3>



<h4 class="wp-block-heading" id="one-one">1.1: Paisley Town Centre – Causeyside Street Regeneration</h4>



<p><strong>Council:&nbsp;</strong>Renfrewshire.<br><strong>Area:</strong>&nbsp;Causeyside St and St Mirren St between Paisley Canal and Gilmour St train stations.<br><strong>Subject:</strong>&nbsp;A potentially very useful link on a main road. A segregated cycletrack is proposed between the pedestrianised part of Gilmour St down Causeyside St to just past Stow Brae (where there’s a link to NCN75 at Telford’s). Renfrewshire Council&nbsp;<a href="https://www.gobike.org/consultation-digest-local-issue-108-17-march-2022-16958#two-one" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">removed some Spaces for People projects</a>&nbsp;and have very little protected, on-road infrastructure. So, even though the proposed cycletrack would be 2-way, it’s a big step forward for the area. Talk of keeping/adding car parking spaces may jar but it’s one less stick for critics to beat it with. There will still be many hurdles to clear, including accessibility and reaction from shoppers/shopkeepers. The plans are by Amey, better known for their trunk road work. That may explain the lack of trees and the convoluted junction south of Stow Brae.<br><strong>Website links:</strong> <a href="https://storymaps.arcgis.com/stories/0d4b646bd8d84485915b81df07f0e92f" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Causeyside St ‘storymap’</a>&nbsp;(with survey at end).<br><strong>Deadline: 7 August 2022.</strong></p>



<h4 class="wp-block-heading" id="one-two">1.2: Ayr to Prestwick Active Travel Route</h4>



<p><strong>Organisation:</strong>&nbsp;Ayrshire Roads Alliance (on behalf of&nbsp;South Ayrshire Council).<br><strong>Subject:</strong>&nbsp;An upgraded&nbsp;<em>“active travel route linking Ayr Esplanade to Prestwick Town Train Station will be proposed. It is envisaged that the proposed route will also connect to existing core paths in addition to future aspirational schemes such as Accessible Ayr, The Culzean Way and the Prestwick to Barassie Active Travel Route.<em>”</em></em>&nbsp;If it goes ahead, it would replace part of the current NCN7 along the coast, so has potential for cycle tourism as well as local journeys. There are photos of issues along the current route but no plans/visuals. So, it seems to be an early consultation to get comments (and maybe gauge demand?). If so, the more responses the better.<br><strong>Website links:&nbsp;</strong><a href="https://storymaps.arcgis.com/stories/0ee0b360c1604282b587dc26b5adc7b3" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Ayr to Prestwick survey</a>.<br><strong>Deadline: 12 August 2022.</strong></p>



<h4 class="wp-block-heading" id="one-three">1.3: Connecting Battlefield</h4>



<p><strong>Council:&nbsp;</strong>Glasgow City.<br><strong>Area:</strong>&nbsp;Battlefield Road, Grange Road, Langside Road and Queens Drive (between Queen’s Park and Mount Florida).<br><strong>Subject:</strong>&nbsp;Relaunch of the former Battlefield Street Design project after a few years on hold during the pandemic. It features a uni-directional extension to the South City Way cycletrack running alongside Queen’s Park and down Battlefield Road. Also, there would be major changes to junctions at Queen’s Drive, Langside Rd and Battlefield Rest (removing a road between it and the old Victoria Hospital site). The consultation site mentions the Liveable Neighbourhood plans for Langside to Toryglen so hopefully these will dovetail with the Battlefield plans.<br><strong>Featured:</strong>&nbsp;<a href="https://www.gobike.org/consultation-extra-18-february-additional-south-city-way-event-for-battlefield-extension-10113" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Consultation Extra, February 2020</a>.<br><strong>Website links:&nbsp;</strong><a href="https://storymaps.arcgis.com/stories/81d55a36d6a642a7bc0edeceea8bc6ec" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Connecting Battlefield ‘Storymap’</a>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<a href="https://www.smartsurvey.co.uk/s/GCC_Connecting_Battlefield/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Connecting Battlefield survey</a>.<br><strong>Deadline:</strong>&nbsp;<strong>14 August 2022</strong>.</p>

On the narrow section south of the village (with hedgerows either side), motor vehicles may have to slow down to pass each other.

<p><strong>Council:&nbsp;</strong>Glasgow City.<br><strong>Area:</strong>&nbsp;North of Gallowgate, between Barrack St and Melbourne St in Calton.<br><strong>Subject:</strong>&nbsp;Parking restrictions and traffic calming in area of new housing. The site, east of the Morrisons supermarket, had lain empty for decades. Wheatley Group is building new flats, called ‘Calton Village’ (for “mid-market rent”) and amending the road layout. Armour St will be filtered at its western end so traffic for Morrisons has to use Barrack St. Various parking bays and build-outs are planned (plus secure bike parking).

<p><strong>Council:&nbsp;</strong>East Ayrshire.<br><strong>Subject:</strong>&nbsp;A Traffic Regulation Order to bring in matchday parking restrictions on 30+ roads around Rugby Park, home of Kilmarnock FC. They&#8217;re newly promoted back to the Scottish Premiership so bigger clubs, with more supporters, will be visiting. The club and stadium are one of the oldest in Scotland so they&#8217;re in the middle of a residential area. The proposed measures seem to be mainly painted lines and signage.

New visualisations show the designers have got the message about more greenery. They’re an improvement on the current, quite barren, square but are not final. Which is just as well, since the shared spaces and road treatments at north and south look like they’d need more work.

<p><strong>Council:&nbsp;</strong>Glasgow City.<br><strong>Area:</strong> East of the Hielenman&#8217;s Umbrella/Central Station bridge along Argyle St and Trongate to the junction at Tolbooth steeple.<br><strong>Subject:</strong>&nbsp;Notes from a recent online meeting about the eastern end of Argyle St. The meeting was introduced as <em>“more about information than consultation” </em>as plans have been underway since 2018. The main change would be putting a one-way road through the current pedestrianised blocks of Arygle St, to help speed up bus routes (with protected contraflow cycle lane). Further east, there would be one-way cycletracks on either side of the road. There was quite a lot of support for the cycle lanes but many points in the meeting came from blind people objecting to bus stop bypasses and raised road tables. <br><strong>Website links:&nbsp;</strong><a href="https://www.gobike.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/Avenues-ASE-webinar-note-27-7-22.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Argyle St East Avenue webinar note</a>.</p>
