CIHT Scotland is delighted to host this webinar with Glasgow City Council which will focus on delivering Phase 1 of the Connecting Woodside project. This will include an overview of the scheme and how it has contributed to improving the safety and attractiveness of active travel in Glasgow.
Connecting Woodside is an ambitious area-based project forming a key component of Glasgow’s proposed city-wide cycle network. Glasgow City Council have recently completed Phase 1 of the project, a 1km bi-directional, segregated cycle route on the A81, Garscube Road.
Prior to the introduction of the scheme, Garscube Road was a four-lane road which was dominated by high speed vehicular traffic, creating an intimidating environment for pedestrians and cyclists. The Council, through a number of community engagement events and focus groups undertaken with disability groups, developed a fully inclusive design that prioritised those walking and cycling.
Between June 2019 and June 2021, Glasgow City Council reported a 92% increase in those cycling along Garscube Road, and this was before the route had officially opened or any promotion of the new route taking place.
In this Webinar you will hear from some of the Council officers responsible for delivering Phase 1 of the Connecting Woodside project, an overview of the scheme and how it has contributed to improving the safety and attractiveness of active travel in Glasgow.
This event is open to both members and non-members of CIHT. It will be of particular interest to Transport Planners, Civil/Highways Engineers and urban planners with an interest in active travel infrastructure.
