Glasgow’s Spaces for People consultation has ended but East Ren’s marches on. Near their border there’s a new 20mph zone. A new road and active travel networks in Lanarkshire, ‘Discussion’ continues in East Dunbartonshire and more post-match analysis from Dennistoun.

Infrastructure Update

• It’s good to see more Bikehangars going in across Glasgow but many are in inconvenient places, like blocking a filter in the Southside or near an entrance to Queen’s Park. Some have been placed on the road but even then can be installed in front of drop kerbs, etc.
• Garscube Rd landscaping is in place as well as more bike warning lights at side roads.
• Further north, near Firhill St, the new Garscube Link to the canal is taking shape.
• Royston Rd pop-up lane seems to be finished but some locals aren’t happy with the lane widths and new road layout at Broomfield Rd junction.

Section 1: Current Consultations
(in date order for responses)

1.1: Glasgow City Council – Burnfield Road (20mph Speed Limit) Order

The order covers a former brownfield site near the Glasgow boundary with East Renfrewshire. It’s off Thornliebank Road near the train station and Eastwood cemeteries. See the Burnfield Road area plan and site boundary PDFs for exact location.

The report for the Burnfield Rd order says it’s applying recent policies to set a 20mph limit for a new development (Storey Grove – apparently before it’s completed). Other documents include a press notice and the usual statement of reasons.

Deadline for feedback – 9 July 2021.

1.2: East Renfrewshire Council – Davieland Road Spaces for People project

First discussed in Digest 87, Item 1.4, Davieland Rd is next to Rouken Glen Park in Giffnock. This Spaces for People project includes a temporary bike lane in one direction, bollards to protect a footway and a bike phase at traffic lights. A few GoBike members have been to try it out and reported a few issues with triggering the bike phase at the lights.

You can leave feedback about the scheme on the ERC’s Davieland Rd survey (no closing date is mentioned).

1.3: North Lanarkshire Council – East Airdrie Link Road, Stage 2 survey

This is a trunk road project that will bypass Chapelhall and Airdrie, as seen in Digest 88, Item 1.6. Active travel links were promised but details are scarce so far, apart from that they may be “separate” (possibly though Airdrie).

The road will link to the new Monklands hospital site at Wester Moffat, near Drumgelloch train station. In Digest 72, Item 3.1 we published the GoBike response about the hospital consultation, mentioning the on-road section of NCN75 nearby. Word has reached us that paths to improve the area have been discussed. Nothing official to report yet but fingers crossed for the future.

Meanwhile, see the East Airdrie Link Road, Stage 2 survey to give feedback about its route. 

1.4: East Dunbartonshire Council – Active Travel Discussion

This was in Digest 86, Item 1.2, including its ‘Ideas Map‘ for the East Dunbartonshire area. While East Dunbartonshire Council haven’t completed the Bears Way or done any Spaces for People schemes, Items 3.1 and 3.2, below, show they have done other active travel projects. However, these are still quite a long way from forming a comprehensive network and linking with neighbouring areas like Glasgow or North Lanarkshire.

There are no consultation events just now – the next online ones were due in August/September. See a full list of events and background info on the Active Travel Discussion webpage. Closing date – 28 September 2021.

Section 2: Forthcoming Consultations

None this time.

Section 3: Consultation Feedback

3.1 East Dunbartonshire Council – Canniesburn Toll, GoBike response

First covered in Digest 86, Item 1.3, there were two design options – one on-road and one on the footway. Both had serious drawbacks and sparked discussion about how the roundabout could be improved. That informed the GoBike response about Canniesburn Toll, which has now been sent to East Dumbartonshire Council. We’ll report back if there’s any response from EDC.

3.2: Strathclyde Partnership for Transport – Regional Transport Strategy

Strathclyde Partnership for Transport (SPT) is a regional transport partnership, which runs the Glasgow Subway and some specialist bus services. We don’t often feature SPT, as they’re not usually the main funders putting forward infrastructure proposals. However, one of their Regional Transport Strategy documents lists the active travel projects funded by SPT across the former Strathclyde region (tucked away at Section 5, Table 2a, item 5). To save you scrolling, here is the summary…

“Actions and Projects:

Support delivery of improved active travel infrastructure and networks across Strathclyde including supporting actions within local authority cycling & active travel strategies.

Update and Status:

A number of cycling projects have been completed or progressed by local authorities in the region with support from SPT since 2018/19, including:

• Argyll and Bute: Helensburgh – Dumbarton regional cycle route: completion of design phase for the remaining 6 sections, land purchase of 2 sections and construction of 1 section.
• East Ayrshire: Completion of the detailed design for Kilmarnock – Crosshouse Hospital cycle route.

• North Ayrshire: Design further section of the Brodick to Corrie Cycle Path and construct sections of the Irvine local network.
• North Lanarkshire: Design and construct sections of Croy Station Access Improvements, Motherwell Station Active Travel Links and Ravenscraig Active Travel Link.
• South Ayrshire: South Ayrshire: Completion on the Alloway-Burton Cycle Route, commence Dundonald – Barassie cycle route Phase 1 and Cycle-friendly signalisation of B746 Kilmarnock Rd/ Lang Rd/ Commonwealth Dr junction.
• South Lanarkshire: Design and construct sections of East Kilbride Active Travel Network, Bothwell-Uddingston NCN connection, Larkhall – Blackwood and Carstairs Junction connections.
• West Dunbartonshire: Design and construct Strathleven link in Dumbarton town centre.”

Glasgow is usually at the front of the queue for Sustrans and other funding so it makes sense that most routes funded by SPT are outside the city. It’s quite a long list – maybe some food for thought for places to go over the summer!?

3.3 South Lanarkshire Council – Active Travel networks

Item 3.2, above, mentions South Lanarkshire’s active travel networks. The latest areas to have networks developed were Blantyre/Bothwell/Uddingston; Larkhall and Stonehouse/Strathaven (Digest 78, Item 1.3). There’s been a gap in updates on this since invites to the workshops didn’t reach either of the GoBike reps on South Lanarkshire Cycling Partnership. Luckily, another GoBike member did take part and passed on details. The downside is we’ve missed the chance to have our say in the discussion and the consultation on the drafts. However, for the record, here are the draft network reports (see p19 for maps).

• Bothwell, Blantyre and Uddingston network report.
• Larkhall network report.
• Strathaven, Stonehouse and surrounding villages network report.

Most of the obvious routes and destinations seem to be covered (but the street names are quite hard to read on all three). A few features don’t inspire confidence, such as making a ‘main route’ of the heavily vandalised Main St (B7012) underpass under the East Kilbride Expressway. Once the networks are finalised, the council should bid for funding to design key routes then progress to construction (as in 3.2, above).

3.4: Dennistoun Community Council – Further update on Spaces for People scheme

Last month, Dennistoun Community Council summarised the Spaces for People project that was put into the area (Digest 88, Item 3.2). This month, Glasgow City Council responded so there’s a further Q&A update on the DCC website.

The update also mentions the return of the Dennistoun & Royston Restricted Parking Zone and the new Dennistoun, Riddrie & Carntyne ‘Liveable Neighbourhood’ proposal. In the last few days, an old proposal has reappeared for a dual carriageway past Alexandra Park, between Dennistoun and Riddrie. So, there should be plenty to talk about in the near future.

Glasgow City Council has announced its consultation on all the city’s Spaces for People projects. So, the post-election lull is probably over now.

East Renfrewshire also have a Spaces for People consultation. East Dumbartonshire have a few on the go and North Lanarkshire have a roundabout design that makes Canniesburn Toll look good.

Infrastructure Update

• Garscube Rd gets rain gardens on the way to Firhill St (as part of Connecting Woodside).
• George Square’s benches and planters have been reinstated after being wrecked by rogue Rangers fans on the last weekend of the season.
• Wallacewell Avenue lanes have ‘zebra’ dividers but with some gaps.
• University Hospital Wishaw’s cycle repair stand appeared on NHS Lanarkshire’s website. There’s a similar repair stand at UH Hairmyres – both installed in recent months.

Section 1: Current Consultations
(in date order for responses)

1.1: North Lanarkshire Council – Ravenscraig Infrastructure Access (South) planning application

Last covered in Digest 75, Item 1.2 (when it seemed to be RAI, now RIA). This planning application is part of a City Deal programme to link the M74 and M8 using a dual carriageway right through the middle of Motherwell. This southern section will widen Airbles Rd, add a massive signalised roundabout and an ‘underbridge’ to cross the railway into the Ravenscraig site. Despite most of the site being empty, no segregated cycleway is proposed there, just a shared footway.

The gigantic 100m footprint of the roundabout could easily have included a segregated cycleway but hasn’t. The angle of staggered crossings on most arms of the roundabout show that pedestrians are expected to make long detours. It will create a black hole for active travel in this part of Motherwell for decades to come. The Canniesburn Toll plans (below) look enlightened by comparison.

GoBike will be objecting to the scale of the roundabout and the lack of segregated cycling provision throughout. If you ever cycle around North Lanarkshire please consider doing the same. See the planning application (look for ‘Windmillhill street junction nmu provision’ and plan documents). Closing date is Bank Holiday Monday 31 May.

1.2: East Dunbartonshire Council – Canniesburn Toll Signalisation Study

As covered last time in Digest 86, Item 1.3, this major junction overhaul near Bearsden does at least include options for a cycle path. However, one option has a serious ‘left hook’ risk and the other involves waiting at several staggered crossings.

Alternative options suggested by experts online, included Edmonton Green roundabout, Enfield, North London (via Ranty Highwayman on Twitter). Or letting pedestrians and cyclists cross into the middle of roundabout (Show Me A Sign, also on Twitter).

See EDC’s overview and their options/survey. The blurb says they’ll do detailed design “Spring/Summer 2021” so don’t hang about.

1.3: Glasgow City Council – Spaces for People survey

In the last Digest we thought we might get a consultation about the temporary Spaces for People ‘pop-up lanes’ in Pollok. Instead, we got a consultation about every SfP project in the city.

There is a wide range of projects from ‘soft segregated’ lanes and widened footways to attempts at Low Traffic Neighbourhoods (now ‘People Friendly Streets’). GCC has split these into headings like ‘City Centre‘, ‘Neighbourhoods‘, ‘School Car Free Zones‘ and ‘Pop-up Cycle Lanes‘

It goes without saying we want as much of the temporary infrastructure to be made permanent as possible. So, it’s important there’s a good response to the survey. Each SfP measure has its own multiple choice question (and space to comment) so it’s easier to fill in than many council consultations.

See GCC’s overview and the GCC SfP survey. Blurb says an “independent review will take place in the summer” so we might not have that long to respond.

1.4: East Renfrewshire Council – Davieland Rd, Giffnock Spaces for People project

Another Spaces for People consultation but for Giffnock instead of Glasgow. This is focused on one place – Davieland Rd next to Rouken Glen Park. The project aims to deal with road safety and accessibility issues from bad parking to speeding.

The proposals would create an uphill cycle lane (with ‘light segregation’) and remove the centre line of the road. It would add bollards and a buffer strip for parking on the downhill side of the road. It means cycling downhill with traffic – easier than uphill but it may not appeal to less confident cyclists (who may prefer the park).

See ERC’s Davieland Rd survey – no closing date is mentioned.

1.5: Glasgow City Council – Maryhill Road/North Woodside Road/Hopehill Road (Traffic Regulation) Order

As covered in the last Digest (86, 1.1) but not very well according to some comments. The council’s drawing for the TRO caused a lot of confusion as it missed out the accompanying pedestrian crossings. These had already appeared in the Connecting Woodside consultation, which this junction was part of. It would have made sense to include them.

That was why the TRO wanted to ban cyclists turning from the crossing onto Maryhill Rd (as pedestrians could also be crossing at the same time). However, GoBike still doesn’t agree with the ban. Similar layouts seem to be used on other Connecting Woodside junctions on Garscube Rd so the principle may apply there too. As for how it will work in practice, that very much remains to be seen.

The usual documents are at the link above. Deadline for responses is Friday, 18 June 2021.

1.6: East Dunbartonshire Council – Active Travel Discussion

This just made it into Digest 86, 1.2. Your editor rashly said we’d have more discussion about it but it doesn’t look like it will be this time around. The consultation is on for months so there’s plenty of time before it feeds into an Active Travel Strategy later in the year.

Upcoming events in the next few days cover Kirkintilloch, Lenzie, Bishopbriggs and Torrance. See a full list of events and background info on the Active Travel Discussion webpage. EDC have an online map to gather suggestions – deadline is 28 September.

Section 2: Forthcoming Consultations

None this time.

Section 3: Consultation Feedback

3.1: Glasgow City Council – Byres Road (20mph Speed Limit Zone) Order

This order was proposed way back in late 2019 (first mentioned in a Consultation Extra). GoBike expressed full support for it in early 2020. The council recently replied to acknowledge our support. GCC said: “This TRO will implement the correct signage as well as 20mph roundels marked on the carriageway at regular intervals, making the order fully enforceable.”

They also gave a brief update about the other two TROs: “the Byres Road and Hillhead Traffic Regulation Orders, …are still under review and will be responded to in due course.” Hillhead TRO is about parking controls and the Byres Rd TRO is about the segregated cycleways on Byres Rd (and Church St).

3.2: Active Travel Academy – Reporting collisions and road deaths guidelines

This item was first covered back in Digest 71, Item 1.3. The way collisions are reported often makes us feel let down by the media. A project set out to do something about that in October 2020. CUK have come back with an article about the results. Journalist Laura Laker and the Active Travel Academy/University of Westminster have produced Media guidelines for reporting road collisions (PDF). These are long overdue and to be welcomed.

3.3: East Dunbartonshire Council – Local Developnment Plan newsletter

The last word to EDC on their LDP. Their latest LDP newsletter is available from their website. Just because the consultation ended in January doesn’t mean we stop hearing about it. It’s going to committee on 27 May then might go to the Scottish Parliament. Feel free to skip the article on their Active Travel Discussion.

Around the north of the city, plans for Maryhill Road’s squinty crossing are dwarfed by proposals for Canniesburn Toll roundabout in East Dumbartonshire.

In the city centre, another Bank Holiday building fire means the road is fenced off on High St at the junction of George St/Duke St.

The Scottish Parliament election has passed but it’s still a bit quiet on the consultations front. However, there are plenty of temporary and permanent projects going on so we have another Infrastructure Update. Most of them are in the city but East Kilbride is also getting in on the Spaces for People action.

Infrastructure Update

• Benalder St, Glasgow is having a cycleway installed over the River Kelvin after works on nearby Bunhouse Rd and Old Dumbarton Rd (for Yorkhill & Kelvingrove Cycling Village).
• Cambridge St, Glasgow – Spaces for People cycle lanes are up and running (including bike traffic lights at Renfrew St).
• East City Way phase 1 at London Rd/Mount Vernon may be nearly there – see 3.1, below.
• East Kilbride has Spaces for People lanes installed between EK train station and shopping centre (via Brouster Hill) including double decker planters on Cornwall St.
• Garscube Rd segregated lanes, for the Connecting Woodside project, have almost reached new bike traffic lights at Firhill St (installed but not put into service yet).
• George Square gets planter boxes and outdoor seating (mostly for The Counting House).
• Royston Rd, Glasgow – work started on Spaces for People lanes.

(in date order for responses)

1.1: Glasgow City Council – Maryhill Road/North Woodside Road/Hopehill Road (Traffic Regulation) Order 2021

This traffic order has a long title for a short stretch of junction. It creates a diagonal cycle crossing on Maryhill Rd between the two filtered sections of N Woodside Rd. This is part of the wider Connecting Woodside project (which is installing other squinty crossings on Garscube Rd).

The accompanying report says it includes “the installation of a signalised pedestrian and cycle crossing at the junction of Maryhill Road, North Woodside Road and Hopehill Road”. It also restricts people cycling on the crossing from turning onto Maryhill Rd midway across. Presumably, in an effort to protect pedestrians who may be crossing alongside bikes.

The eastern side will have a 2-way cycle carriageway (according to the very small annotation, above). The order also prohibits motor vehicles from using the new cycle carriageway (the current road has been used for car parking).

There are the usual documents: TRO plan, TRO report, TRO press notice and (short) TRO statement of reasons. The deadline for responses is Friday, 18 June 2021.

1.2: East Dunbartonshire Council – Active Travel Discussion (11 May – 28 Sept)

This item came up just before publication and we’ll no doubt have more to say about it. However, for now, we’ll just highlight the online events starting on 18 May (for the Lennoxtown, Milton of Campsie, Haughhead and Clachan of Campsie areas). There are about a dozen online events in the next few months for different areas (using MS Teams). Paper forms are also available from local libraries.

See a full list of events and background info on the Active Travel Discussion webpage. EDC have set up an online map to gather suggestions, with links to highlight paths, etc. in the area. This consultation will feed into a new Active Travel Strategy later in the year.

1.3: East Dunbartonshire Council – Canniesburn Toll Signalisation Study

Canniesburn Toll is a main junction between Bearsden and Glasgow, which links Switchback Rd and Drymen Rd to the A81 (Maryhill Rd/Milgavie Rd). East Dunbartonshire Council is going to add traffic lights and pedestrian crossings around the roundabout itself. At the same time EDC are proposing to add a cycle lane (using space gained by removing pavement around the centre of roundabout).

There are two options being put forward for the bike lane – one on the carriageway and one on the footway. While it’s good that EDC is looking at cycling infrastructure again (after ignoring Spaces for People), there are some obvious issues with both options.

Option 1, on the carriageway, seems to give priority for people cycling round the edge of the roundabout. However, there’s an obvious risk of a ‘left hook’ collision, when cycling ahead from cars turning left across your path.

Option 2, on the footway, should be safer but slower with multiple waits at traffic lights to cross each arm of the roundabout.

It’s not clear if either option is trying to recreate a Dutch roundabout, which tend to be smaller, single-lane roundabouts with a cycle lane in a separate ring outside it (leaving a gap for cars to stop on each arm). There may not be enough space all the way around the roundabout to add bike lanes further out. However, there is a huge area in the middle of it.

The Canniesburn Toll consultation website has background info and a link to the survey, which takes general feedback and for each option. It’s apparently had a few technical issues which the consultants (Stantec) say are being resolved. If you have any issues with it you could try emailing canniesburntoll@stantec.com. There’s no obvious closing date for this one. However, a ‘Technical Note‘ by EDC for their councillors says detailed design will start in June 2021.

1.4: North Lanarkshire Council – Town Hubs location surveys

As covered in Digest 85, Item 1.2. The Hubs are about creating community facilities through school refurbishments (or other redevelopment). While not strictly about cycling, the new hubs should be accessible by bike/active travel. The areas involved are: Airdrie, Bellshill, Coatbridge, Cumbernauld, Kilsyth, Motherwell, ‘Northern Corridor’ (Chryston), Shotts and Wishaw.

Each area is covered in one of the videos on the consultation webpage. You can watch them on the page or by clicking the red link to open them in a new tab/window. There are also videos at the foot of the page explaining the thinking behind the project. Each area has a link to a survey to give your views. There’s no obvious closing date for this one.

1.5: GUS – GUSM74 Urban Sports Sculpture Park survey

First covered in Digest 81, Item 1.9, the GUSM74 skate park would transform an area under the motorway near West St underground station. The GUSM74 survey is still open for BMX riders, skaters, or their families, to have their say.

Section 2: Forthcoming Consultations

2.1: Glasgow City Council – Pollok pop-up lanes consultation (Spaces for People)

The city council added pop-up cycle lanes in Pollok on Braidcraft Rd and Brockburn Rd (as mentioned in the Spaces for People Update in Digest 84). As in other areas, the new lanes used ‘soft segregation’ (black & white ‘zebras’). They generated a lot of discussion on social media, especially Facebook. A Facebook post by Cllr David McDonald talked about a future GCC consultation. It was apparently due to start on 7 May but there doesn’t seem to be any further information so far.

Section 3: Consultation Feedback

3.1: Glasgow City Council – East City Way Phase 1 (London Dr to Daldowie Rd) Order 2021

This was covered in Digest 80, Item 1.5 with further responses in Digest 82, 3.1. GCC have emailed to confirm it’s going ahead as proposed. Hopefully, this and the image in the Infrastructure Update, mean the first phase is just about complete.

3.2: Glasgow City Council – London Road and Hamilton Road (30mph Speed Limit) Order 2021

This order has gone hand-in-hand with the above since Digest 80, Item 1.6. It’s also been approved. Both orders were made on 30th April 2021 with adverts in the Evening Times on 6th May 2021.

3.3: Multiplex – Glasgow Uni campus, May newsletter

Quick off the mark this month are Multiplex with their May newsletter about the Glasgow Uni campus redevelopment.

3.4: Urban Roots – Malls Mire, April Newsletter

First covered in Digest 74, Item 3.4, we’re a wee bit late with the April newsletter. Apparently some paths may be rerouted to allow work to take place. On the plus side, the bike pump track is looking good!
