The resurfacing of the path from the Forth & Clyde Canal to Netherton Road, down the side of the David Lloyd Club only lasts a few metres, but it at least eliminates the step between the existing asphalt and the rest of the path.
Details of the steps down from the Stockingfield Bridge. There is a wheeling ramp (with the usual problems they entail), but once the bridge is properly open, using the main ramp will be far more attractive for those cycling. See also … [more]
The zig-zag ramp and steps up from Kelvingrove into the new university campus extension are now open.
The zig-zag ramp and steps up from Kelvingrove into the new university campus extension are now open.
While the Nithsdale Road railway bridge is being rebuilt, the Strathbungo footbridge in Moray Place has been made accessible, in advance of its permanent replacement. The work involves timber ramps at each side, leading to a step-free … [more]
A large area has been taken for a works compound for the M8 motorway viaduct repair work. But the path between the Garscube Road footbridge and Braid Square is still open.
Cathkin Braes Country Park has mountain biking trails and ordinary paths. Here is the path between the car park and Castlemilk.
The path from the Forth & Clyde Canal footbridge at Old Farm Road over to Netherton Road is in a very poor condition (still). What doesn't show up in the photograph is the step between the asphalt surface and the washed-out unsealed path.
I'm still none the wiser as to why the path going around the outside of the fenced playpark has been surfaced with pebbles in a plastic mesh (see #175035). This is not easy to cycle on.
A second new bridge across the Garscadden Burn (out of view ahead down the hill) has been provided on this path from Belsyde Avenue to Southdeen Avenue, but this section of path has not been improved. The Drumchapel Way crosses from right … [more]
Woodland path between Ascot Avenue and Strathcona Drive, possible to get a bike along, but not very easy due to surface and gradient.
No attempt has been made by the housing developer to integrate the existing paths into the new road layout, let alone upgrade them. The path on the left connects Daldowie Road with Caledonia Road at the bus terminus.
The Glasgow Harbour "land bridge" (as it was described when it was first proposed) has subsidence issues.
The pedestrian crossings at Anderston Cross have been surrounded by hoardings, making sightlines rather poor.
The pedestrian crossings at Anderston Cross have been surrounded by hoardings, making sightlines poor. However, the lack of traffic coming from the Clydeside Expressway has made it easier to cross on red as there are more gaps in the … [more]
Newly rebuilt path associated with the Scottish Water works. The gravel surface on the path bypassing the children's playground is held in place with a plastic mesh.
Newly rebuilt paths associated with the Scottish Water works. The paths change from asphalt to gravel.
At the bottom of the stepped ramp in #175030, new path construction associated with the Scottish Water works.
The footbridge across Springburn Road connects the path parallel to Springburn Road to a car park at the end of Carbisdale Street, which is accessed from Hawthorn Street. The footbridge itself is step-free. Eastfield Park is also accessible … [more]
A general view of the path parallel to Springburn Road, and the ramps down from Lenzie Terrace. The footbridge across Springburn Road is also visible
The ramp from Lenzie Terrace (see #173029) comes down to this landing, but the next ramp directly towards the Springburn Road footbridge has a couple of steps in it. This could be rebuilt. However, another ramp behind the camera provides a … [more]
Access between Drumchapel and Bearsden has been maintained during the long-term water works. The surface of the temporary path is stones and not good for cycling on. However, the path south (to the right) has been closed since it goes … [more]
The direct path from Byshot Street to Finlas Street has steps. There is also a rough path around the steps, seen to the right, but this is very uneven, overgrown, and best avoided if cycling. The area around Byshot Street has been abandoned … [more]
A ramp has been provided behind the bus stop, in addition to steps, to connect from Thornliebank Road up to Cartcraigs Road. (This does not form part of the cycle route, but could be used for connections to and from it.)
A flood prevention scheme has been implemented at Greenbank Park, and thus the entrances to the park have steps and ramps over the embankments that would contain any flooding.
From the playing fields car park, this track links to Guidmans Road and almost connects to the path network beyond.
While it is possible to cycle through from the allotments to the playing fields at Pollok Country Park, the path through the woods is unsurfaced and muddy in places, so won't become one of my regular routes through the park.
A desire line formed by pedestrians walking from Dalintober Street to Carnoustie Street. There is a pedestrian crossing at the traffic signals ahead, but the paving slabs take an indirect route there.
The footbridge connecting the two parts of Beech Avenue across the M8 motorway, and part of the original Glasgow to Paisley cycle route. The footbridge ramps have a single step at each side of the bridge.
A bridge over the railway line next to Cartcraigs Road. Network Rail has applied to demolish this bridge without replacement as part of the project to upgrade and electrify the railway through here. See … [more]
The path connecting Cogan Street and Shawbridge Street has been laid out for pedestrian use only, but provides a route to and from the retail park that avoids Nether Auldhouse Road, so would be useful for cycling too. Although there is a … [more]
It would be useful for east-west journeys to have a proper connection between Hawthorn Street and Campsie Street (which leads to Wallacewell Road). But at present, the most direct connection is a gravel path between the footways of Atlas … [more]
Building work continues on the redevelopment of the Prospecthill Circus area, although I wasn't clear what the purpose of this fencing was. The path could do with upgrading, that may be still to come.
Having left Malls Mire nature reserve, the path meets another around the playing fields at Toryglen Road. Over to the right is the path from Prospecthill Circus that is currently being rebuilt.
A path in Malls Mire nature reservce, looking towards the council boundary. It is possible to get across into Rutherglen here, but there's a short section of steep path here.
Paths within Malls Mire are appropriate for a nature reserve. The steps link up to the path between Prospecthill Circus and Toryglen Road in Rutherglen (that is currently being rebuilt).
The alignment of Abbotsford Place is continued in the form of a path, but is blocked by the parked car transporter on Cumberland Street. There is no formal crossing or even dropped kerbs.
Pedestrian connection and crossing from Waterfoot Terrace to and across Brockburn Road, which could easily be improved to allow cycling, until such time as replacing the Barrhead Road/Peat Road roundabout comes about.
Gated path between Allander Street and Tannock Street. The path surface is whindust, with a liberal coating of glass.
A new section of path connecting the Snow Bridge and the grounds of the University of Glasgow, with potential to connect to the redevelopment of the Western Infirmary (behind).
The new path in Dawsholm Park (on the right) ends where it meets the old path for the second time. A direct asphalted route through the park between Dalsholm Road and Ilay Road has been reestablished.
The new path from Dalsholm Road continues through the park and has at long last provided an alternative route around the section of park that was fenced off years ago. The fence is now lined with trees. The old path can be seen to the … [more]
Shallow steps on the path from Ashvale Crescent to Cowlairs Road, on its way to run alongside the Springburn Expressway. There is a steeper flight of steps at Ashvale Crescent, so the only way to get to here step-free is from Carleston … [more]
A 'Cyclists Dismount' sign on the path alongside the Springburn Expressway, at a point where all approaches have steps, except for the route to Carleston Street over the bridge.
Refurbished bridge, seen previously in #87513. The area has been tidied up, although graffiti has returned. Unmade paths lead through the woods to Cadder.
It's clear here what the transport priorities are when there are steps at one side of this footbridge.
Shallow steps leading to motorway footbridge at Clifford Street that could be replaced by a proper ramp. The same problem as the other access at #152263.
Shallow steps leading to motorway footbridge at Clifford Street that could be replaced by a proper ramp. The same problem as the other access at #152264.
Wider pavement and stop pavement parking. Impossible for people with prams, wheelchairs or mobility issues to get passed cars and they have to walk on the roads
If you know where to look, there are now little asphalt ramps on each of the steps on the Charing Cross footbridge. But they could be widened and highlighted with paint. The dropped kerb is also obstructed by car parking. Combined with … [more]
Pavements on Dumbarton Road between Crow Road and Byres Road are not going to be wide enough for social distancing as increasing numbers of people come back to work: take back some of the street!
Eastern pavement of Crow Road very narrow at this point, probably only 1 m wide for about 30 or 40 m, hemmed in by metal fence on the edge of the pavement and hedge on the right of the pavement
There is a really wide road opening, parked cars, blind spots but it is on way to canal. Narrow the road to single track to allow lore space for cyclists and walkers.
There is no pavement here at all. This is the main way for residents of Kelvindale to access their amazing local park. Aswell as no pavements there is a really wide road opening to cross aswell. We usually drive to the park (6 minute walk) … [more]
Pavements too narrow for effective distancing, pedestrian barriers should be removed, & narrow central reservation should be turned into a pedestrian refuge with sufficient space for distancing and/or incorporated into a pedestrian crossing
The surface of the path between Prospecthill Circus and Toryglen Road in Rutherglen has still not been improved. This would form a useful alternative to the main Prospecthill Road, including for commuting. But not in this state.
The footbridge at the end of Dolphin Road has fairly steep ramps, but also has quite a bit of upstand on the kerbs on each side.
Anyone wanting to avoid the traffic on Argyle Street by using the route in #113424 is faced with this poor quality back lane to get to Corunna Street. Watch out for glass!
Evidence of a desire line through the park from Kelvinhaugh Street to Corunna Street, avoiding Argyle Street. From Corunna Street there is a de facto quietway to the city centre via the Skypark path.
An old railway track alongside the A752 at Drumpellier Country Park, which would make a better route for the Seven Lochs Trail than the footway of the A752. It just needs a path to be built on the trackbed and across to a road crossing. … [more]
I don't know why the path doesn't continue behind the wall. The cobbles are not everyone's cup of tea.
Tyre tracks (not mine) in the grass in Househill Park. This park could do with a few more formalised paths.
No dropped kerb at the end of the path to Langlands Road (which has a 'No Cycling' sign at the other end #112293).
