Glasgow infrastructure update, Summer 2025

View up Pitt St past covered bike traffic light to fenced off bike lane going up hill

In case anyone else has been losing track of all the construction projects going on just now… Glasgow City Council put out an Avenues Programme Progress Report (PDF) in April 2025. However, a few that were due to be complete by May 2025 are still going on. So, it seemed like a good time to revive GoBike’s Infrastructure Update and have a look…

Snapshot of progress

The following is a snapshot of active travel works in and around the city centre during May/June 2025.

Most of these are part of the Avenues Project (or Avenues Plus). Not all projects include segregated cycle lanes, for example: Holland St and Sauchiehall Precinct (but the latter has removed raised platforms so there’s more space for cycling). The photos give an idea of how things are taking shape.

Children’s Walking and Cycling Index published

Sustrans has created the first ever Children’s Walking and Cycling Index, designed to help better understand the behaviours, barriers and attitudes affecting how children walk, wheel and cycle in the UK.

Children are often overlooked by decision-makers in transport except on journeys to and from school.

This leaves out the role that travel plays in their day-to-day lives, supporting development of their independence, socialisation skills, overall mental health and wellbeing, and reducing the family workload.

This new report gives a voice to children across the UK.
