The decaying leaves of autumn have still not been swept up, but the council employs someone to drive a van along the path every week or so. This does not count as maintenance!
Some of the gates across the Forth & Clyde Canal towpath are now regularly shut across the path again.
Although the signs at West Campbell Street have been changed from 'No Vehicles' to 'No Motor Vehicles Pedestrian and Cycle Zone', there is no dropped kerb to enable cycling into the cycle zone.
The resurfaced footway of the otherwise abandoned Swordale Place. In combination with Kildermorie Road, useful for local trips across Easterhouse, avoiding the main roads, but with all the broken glass and other debris, a very unattractive … [more]
Abandoned Kildermorie Road, blocked off with concrete blocks at each end (with no gap for cycling) and covered in broken glass and other debris. But a useful link for local trips avoiding the main roads.
Poor surface on towpath beyond Ruchill Street. [I have since learnt that this path is being upgraded shortly, see https://www.scottishcanals.co.uk/news/forth-clyde-canal-towpath-upgrade/ ]
Hey @MyGlasgowCC this cycle lane at Blairdardie westbound feels like riding on snow with ice underneath, time the lane was cleared? https://t.co/QM3iApKL7e
Just your standard Advance Stop Line with a cycle lane approach that will be driven in by motorists using the pointless inside lane. And another van driver who has parked on the footway.
The bollards removed for COP26 still have not been reinstated, and the plastic box keeps getting moved aside, allowing drivers to enter and leave the Kelvingrove Art Gallery grounds from Argyle Street, at the pedestrian crossing (see … [more]
A very poorly maintained raised junction at the intersection of Bank Street and Glasgow Street. The paving blocks are very uneven and awkward to ride over.
A poor road environment on Sauchiehall Street at Charing Cross, leading to these two cycling on the footway and traffic island. And they weren't the only ones.
Not so much 'No Parking' as not enough cycle parking in the right places. Also, it was installed too close to the wall.
Van parking on the recently rebuild footway in University Avenue. There are parking bays in the road in front of the building the vans are parked at the rear of, in University Gardens.
A delivery van parked on the recently rebuilt footway, and two more vans parked further along. This is what happens when the roadway is designed without any provision for loading bays.
No change on the completed section of the Old Dumbarton Road cycleway, with rotting leaf mess and litter strewn about.
The burst water main in #189435 has been repaired and the road patched, but the pothole has been left untouched!
A vandalised 20mph reminder sign, with a contradictory 30mph sign on the joining side road. Also, a commercial vehicle parked on the footway, including tactile paving, at the junction.
A pothole full of water, and water rising through the footway surface. The sign says "Due to burst water main please do not park", but was ignored by one private plates driver. (The pipes belong to a team of window cleaners.)
Was I imagining that this road got resurfaced last year? A very poor surface on a road that supposedly is the flagship Colleges Cycle Route. See #186854.
Was I imagining that this road got resurfaced last year? The sign for the junction ahead should show a crossroads, not just a junction on one side.
Still no dropped kerb at the Panmure Gate entrance to the award-winning Claypits Local Nature Reserve.
Van and car parking on the (presumably shared use) footway connecting the Craighall Road toucan crossing to the Forth & Clyde Canal at Speirs Wharf. The car is also blocking a dropped kerb (the dropped kerb can be seen better in #188011).
Traffic signals out again on Craighall Road. Not easy to see approaching traffic around the bend! The cycleway crosses here to get to the canal path at Speirs Wharf.
An inexplicable hairpin bend feature on the path around the side of the Sighthill site redevelopment. I believe this is to be the replacement cycle route between the city centre and Springburn.
Incorrect corduroy 'hazard' tactile paving used on Sighthill Avenue, in contrast to the correct 'cycleway' paving mostly used on Pinkston Road. This is one of the main flagship routes in Sighthill.

Incorrect corduroy 'hazard' tactile paving used on Pinkston Road at Sighthill Avenue, in contrast to the correct 'cycleway' paving used elsewhere on Pinkston Road.
The parking control traffic order for North Kelvinside has been fully implemented, including the one-way streets, and yet this Fire Path, which was proposed for opening up to cycling, remains closed to cycling. Just as the Queen Margaret … [more]

The Doune Quadrant/Doune Gardens traffic filter is even harder to use with added roadworks and carefree parking.
No improvement on last year then. Leaf mess all over the path, and the tactile paving is still wrong.
Cycles only beyond this point? The one on the nearside of the crossing should not be there, and signs to diagram 955 should have the bicycle symbol with the front wheel to the left. Just after I took the photo, a delivery van driver used … [more]
It's great that the path from Netherton Road to the Forth & Clyde Canal towpath has been widened and resurfaced, but those bollards are just in the way at the point of a blind corner. Put them at the road end of the path where they would be … [more]
The narrow advisory cycle lanes on Highburgh Road are almost invisible. The taxi is parked on a bus stop clearway.
The narrow advisory cycle lanes on Highburgh Road are almost invisible. The section of road in the foreground has been resurfaced, and awaits the reinstatement of road markings.
Highburgh Road, resurfaced, but awaiting reinstatement of road markings besides the stop lines for the toucan crossing.

There used to be a path forking right here, from the Kelvin Walkway into Wyndford, but now there's a new fence, so it looks like the path won't be returning once the long-term water works are finished.
Castle Roofing North East casually parked way up a cycle lane #glasgow NG58KXV @YPLAC https://t.co/6QDOIEONqe
The visitor bike parking at the Kelvingrove Art Gallery is full of hire bikes, so this visitor has locked to a lamppost near the entrance.
Bad tree root damage to the path down from Campbell Street to the Stockingfield Bridge. While not ever going to be a main access route, it is still one that will be used by local people and this damage should have been addressed.
@scottishcanals the approach to the canal at Stockingfield is blocked by a car https://t.co/YGzt9A4nhx
Why advertise that the access ramps are open onto towpath at Stockingfield then allow vans to park on them forcing people into deep mud?. And I walked round from the house the other evening with yard brush to clean glass off I mentioned … [more]
The Netherton Road traffic filter has still not been modified to comply with Council Policy to allow cycles through, and this rusty stump of a post is a tripping, cutting and puncture hazard when trying to get around using the lowest point … [more]
Elderslie Street, I waited long enough for a full cycle of the main traffic lights, but these ones on a segregated cycleway did not change during that time.

Footbridge over the Clydeside Expressway. It's a stepped ramp, but there's some attempt to improve it with in-fill on part of the steps. I saw a cyclist ride down it carefully.
Freshly painted car parking bays on Queen Margaret Drive, where Glasgow City Council had consulted on putting a protected cycleway. See https://www.northkelvincc.org.uk/2019/10/queen-margaret-drive-cycleway/
This @G4S van was abandoned in the centre of Glasgow this afternoon, completely blocking the main cycle route to the west and forcing people into oncoming traffic at a busy corner. @polscotrpu @MyGlasgowCC @GoBikeGlasgow @walkcyclescot … [more]
Parking across a cycle track traffic filter. This area is a Controlled Parking Zone "park in marked bays only".
Not again! A driver parking in the cycle lane on University Avenue, and across part of the junction mouth of Kelvin Way.
Missing bollards where Garriochmill Road becomes the Kelvin Walkway, with graffiti obscuring the sign. Yet other sections of the Kelvin Walkway have multiple barriers in the name of attempting to prevent access for motorbikes.
A fallen cycle parking stand in Benalder Street. But it appears that it was not the rust that led to its downfall.
We can’t make utility cycling a daily norm for more people, if we shove the cycle parking behind the building, away from the entrance and use it as storage for trolleys! 🫤 https://t.co/sDn1DoNci1
Most folk may cross without making use of the toucan crossing in Kelvin Way, but that's no reason to block the crossing with planters. This raises accessibility issues.
A car-sized gap between the water-filled barriers and the sign-post. The barriers are no replacement for the four bollards that used to be here before COP26.
Still no reinstatement of bollards at any of the three locations that once had them at some stage previously. However, the sign advising of no vehicular access has been cleaned. (There is of course actually vehicular access for cycles.)
The last of the Nextbike bolt-down stands has succumbed to the inevitable, and now there are only the visitor parking stands left at the Kelvingrove Art Gallery.
A route sign (if you can read the small writing) pointing cyclists the wrong way along a one-way road, marked as 'No Entry'. The 'West City Way' emblem has its own separate post.
Damage to a sign post and a wrecked cycle stand, while the Fire Path markings on the traffic island are almost unreadable.
The planters have been moved and are now blocking the cycle lane on Kelvin Way, when they should be protecting it.
No path connection between the road crossing and the entrance to Hogganfield Park. Have to bump kerb and cross grass. This is a signed walking and cycling route, the Seven Lochs Trail.
A newly installed dropped kerb at the east end of Henderson Street, but the corresponding dropped kerb in Napiershall Street has an occupied marked parking bay across it.
In an almost empty street (see #183811), one of the few vehicles parked is blocking the dropped kerb for Garriochmill Way. A build-out is required, as well as removing the parking bay markings.

The University Avenue mandatory cycle lane chock-a-block with parked cars, and pavement parking on the opposite side where there is no cycle lane.
Plenty of car parking spaces, but cycle parking hidden away on side streets. The rubber tactile matting is in a state of decay.
Traffic calming by way of filtering, but cycle access not provided, at a number of nearby junctions.
The mandatory cycle lane in University Avenue blocked by a lorry driver with his lorry, forcing a rider off her bike.
