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!
Glasgow's newest cycle path - a gentler version of San Francisco's Lombard Street. But where am I? https://t.co/yTk1vweJZ6 Location not known exactly yet! Too new to be found on Google Lens: … [more]
The Provan Hall Trail at the far end of Blairtummock Park. From here the trail is signed along Easterhouse Road to Easterhouse Railway Station. The path ends at the motorway sliproad junction. The road ahead, Rogerfield Road, looks even … [more]
The Provan Hall Trail in Blairtummock Park. Once out of the park the trail appears to be signed along a variety of roads to get to Provan Hall.
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/ ]

View from the (not quite open yet) cycle path this morning. Queen's Park to Glasgow city centre route almost complete from the looks of things. Markings & street trees being added now all the way up to the river. #SouthCityWay … [more]
No change on the completed section of the Old Dumbarton Road cycleway, with rotting leaf mess and litter strewn about.
The Old Dumbarton Road cycleway appears to be nearing completion at long last, and is getting used. Lining still to be done on this section.
The Old Dumbarton Road cycleway appears to be nearing completion at long last. But still not clear how it integrates with anything else.
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.
The path around the side of the Sighthill redevelopment approaching Pinkston Road. I believe this path will form parts of the cycle routes from Cumbernauld and Springburn to the city centre.
The main path around the side of the Sighthill redevelopment. I believe this is to become part of the cycle routes from Cumbernauld and Springburn to the city centre.
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.
The end of the Sighthill Avenue cycleway approaching Springburn Road. Don't be tempted to go through the archway, since there is a step on the other side!

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 St Andrews Drive cycleway is physically rideable, but awaits completion of traffic signal works.
Old habits die hard when there's months between installation and commissioning, and this cyclist, despite having triggered the detector, went straight to the pedestian crossing rather than waiting at the cycle signals.
No improvement on last year then. Leaf mess all over the path, and the tactile paving is still wrong.
The path towards Gilshochill suddenly gets narrow. Narrow enough that for people to pass, one has to stand aside off the path.
The ramp up to the Forth & Clyde Canal towpath from Lochburn Road has been made wider and resurfaced.
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.
Helpful! A handrail and place to rest the foot while waiting for the lights to change. I didn't have anyone with me to pose for the camera. Elderslie Street, Glasgow

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.

No surface improvement to the canal towpath at Firhill Road. The improvement stops at the Ruchill Street bridge.
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.
New planters, and the toucan crossing is now free from obstruction. However, the tiny 'No Entry' on the bollard on the right is incorrect because this is just the way you would pass to turn right into the Kelvingrove Art Gallery grounds.
The towpath of the Forth & Clyde Canal at Stockingfield Junction has reopened, with just the bridge remaining closed.

The cobbles under the Ruchill Street bridge have been replaced by asphalt, removing one hazard at this very narrow section of path built in modern times. See #92011 for previous surface.
The Bunhouse Road cycle traffic signals are finally operational, about a year after installation. On this occasion the signal was triggered by someone cycling on the footway opposite. See also #183675.
The Bunhouse Road cycle traffic signals are finally operational, about a year after installation. However, some cyclists are continuing to use the pedestrian crossings, including this one who never pressed the button and had to wait a … [more]
Temporary barriers have returned to close off the Kelvingrove Art Gallery pedestrian and cycle access from use by drivers.
New detector strips have been installed at the North Woodside Road cycle traffic signals at the Maryhill Road crossing. UPDATE 16/6/2022: Arriving by bike, the detector did not cause the button to light up, so I had to press the button in … [more]
People walking and cycling on Kelvin Way, with motoring signage still on display two years after the closure to driving.
A detector has been installed in the Bunhouse Road cycleway, but is so close to the traffic signal users will have almost stopped before being detected.
Still no reinstatement of bollards to stop drivers from using this pedestrian and cycle route as an access route to and from the Kelvingrove Art Gallery. The bollards were removed for the COP26 dinner.
The North Woodside Road scheme included shortening the length of the road available for driving by extending the cycleway. A zebra crossing has been provided for pedestrians accessing the steps to the supermarket.
The Maryhill Road crossing on North Woodside Road has now been completed. Corduroy tactile paving has again been used erroneously in place of the wider gap Cycleway type. Left and right turns have been banned with the Ahead Only sign.
The new cycle traffic signal at the Maryhill Road crossing on North Woodside Road. Note the Ahead Only sign forbidding left and right turns, including into Hopehill Road for accessing the supermarket.
The finished replacement crossing on North Woodside Road at Maryhill Road. Note the Ahead Only sign on the traffic signal.
Benches and an overflowing bin, but no cycle route signage at the junction of Ferry Road and the cycle path to Kelvinhaugh Road.
Placemaking (I think) at Ferry Road. Benches have been installed next to the bin, but still no restoration of direction signage (such as in #37216) for the cycle routes.
