Consultation Extra: Gordon Street & Central Station entrance
Coming back after summer holidays, for some of us, may involve leaving Glasgow Central station onto Gordon St. The scene you’re met with can vary from ‘hustle and bustle’ to a full-on three ring circus of buses, taxis, bikes, people and luggage coming from all angles. There’s a lot of conflict on the block of Gordon St at the station entrance, so it’s ripe for reorganisation. However, the current ‘public realm’ proposals leave a lot to be desired, especially for cycling.
GoBike thinks the changes exclude cycling. We need your help to respond and spread the word about the Gordon St SmartSurvey (consultation deadline: Sunday 24 August). In this article we explain the issues…

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.
