Submission Documents: By Councillor Dr Martin Bartos:- "Council acknowledges the vital contribution cycling can make to city life as a sustainable and healthy form of transport and notes the ongoing work on Glasgow's cycle strategy. Council believes Glasgow as a whole must work harder to provide measures to make the choice to switch to cycling a more convenient one. Council notes the growing understanding of good principles for cycle parking in the public realm and believes in the need to facilitate cycling by examining the infrastructure at the start and end of journeys, as well as safer cycling routes. Council believes Glasgow residents are increasingly keen to cycle between home and work however, given the level of cycle theft in Glasgow, the provision of convenient and secure cycle storage is a key barrier. Council believes that to achieve the promotion of cycling in our city to the levels we aspire to, there is a need for routine investment in convenient and secure cycle parking as part of residential, commercial and public realm infrastructure. Glasgow City Council agrees to produce a best practice guide on cycle parking, building on work undertaken elsewhere, in order to promote secure, convenient cycle parking and storage. Such a guide would be particularly targeted to address new and refurbished residential, office and student accommodation developments and would be presented to the relevant Policy Development Committee prior to being finalised. A paper would be brought forward with the draft guide advising how such a guide might be established as supplementary planning guidance or otherwise adopted and embedded in the planning process to align the action of private developers with the city's public ambition."
