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.
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]
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 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.
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]
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.
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]
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
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.
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.
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).
On the left, the Garscadden Way, leading to the Drumchapel Way, and on the right, the path through to Annan Drive. Both could do with some proper path building works.
The optimist in me wants to believe that this section of the Drumchapel Way path is currently being upgraded.
The path connecting the Forth & Clyde Canal to Netherton Road next to the David Lloyd centre is in a very poor condition, not just a poor and narrow surface but quite overgrown too.
A very narrow and bumpy path that could be improved to connect Kirklee with Kelvindale Road and the Kelvin Walkway across the river.
Fences ✅ Crash barriers ✅ Surface ❌ Unless you like cycling on the A89 dual carriageway, this is one of the few options for getting around Baillieston Interchange and on to Bargeddie.
Broken asphalt on the route the Kelvingrove Art Gallery boss preferred cyclists to take rather than the more obvious route through the car park.
[via email] Flood on path from SECC to Riverside Museum. Created a few months ago by a worker with a digger #GlasgowCycleInfraDay17 https://t.co/8UtPQmwTHM
Ncn7 worst designed cycle path entrance on my route. At least nettles have died down a bit now. #GlasgowCycleInfraDay17 https://t.co/QDIhlbFwMy
NCN7. A mud pit because it's often (presumably illegally?) driven on. #GlasgowCycleInfraDay17 https://t.co/DXj0zXUQdL
The people of Pollok have made their own desire lines clear, and they don't match the official paths.
It's hard to believe that this path is only a few weeks old. Unlike the other rebuilt paths linking to and from the Kelvin Walkway, this riverside path was not asphalted, but instead has been given a loose surface. Unsurprisingly, it is … [more]
Unlike the other rebuilt paths linking to and from the Kelvin Walkway, this riverside path was not asphalted, but instead has been given a loose surface. Unsurprisingly, it is already wrecked after the first heavy rain since it was built. … [more]

The Garscadden Way almost indiscernible approaching the Drumchapel Road crossing. Only the old access barrier gives a clue to it once being a Strathclyde Regional Council cycle route.
The Drumchapel Way and Garscadden Way meet and head onwards between the trees. The Drumchapel Way comes along the path from Kinfauns Drive and turns, while the path continues on to Annan Drive. The Garscadden Way comes across the grass from … [more]
A poor quality path from Kinfauns Drive across to Annan Drive, with a waymarker post for the Drumchapel Way.
Access to the new access path to the Kelvin Walkway in #89472 still needs work done at Bantaskin St. Maybe it isn't finished.
The path beneath the road bridges at Baillieston could do with a litter-pick along its whole length.
A clear desire line for a ramp to the Clyde Walkway where there is only steps on this side of Dalmarnock Road.
The path between Strathmore Road and Liddesdale Road needs dropped kerbs at each end, and possibly the pedestrian desire line towards Balmore Road should be acknowledged.
The Halloween Pend, an old tunnel under the Forth & Clyde Canal. Not much use for cycling, unless you don't mind a bit of scrambling and ankle-deep mud. More information at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gcKoypTGPG8
See video at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tNIW5viCYK0 This path between Southdeen Avenue and Glenkirk Drive is included in the 300km of claimed cycle routes in the Glasgow City Council Cycle Network (see map at … [more]
Clearly not a purpose-built cycleway. The path heads up a steep slope onto the former railway embankment.
The Allander Way has an underpass beneath the A879 Balmore Road (although not Boclair Road), but the path does not connect up with it, and if you want to join Balmore Road, access is by climbing over the crash barrier!
The Kelvin Walkway path doesn't get any better than this. The sections either side of this are quite muddy.
The improved section of path doesn't even stretch as far as the bridge. The path beyond here is even worse!
Another calculated insult to pedestrians from one of the laziest, nastiest councils in Britain http://t.co/jfCIaQUAZw
A very poor section of track linking the closed section of Bantaskin Street with the Kelvin Walkway. The sign says "Kelvin Walkway - Authorised Vehicles Only - 4 m.p.h."
On the left, offside access to the Forth & Clyde Canal at Kelvin Dock. (Access to the towpath can only be gained from here by crossing over one of the lock gates.) On the right, access to the Kelvin Walkway. Poor surface all round.
On the far side of the road crossing it is legal to cycle on this path. On this side it is not. And there are obstructions at the road crossing in the way of anyone using the path anyway.
