Draft Core Paths Plan for Glasgow
Do you enjoy Walking, Cycling, Horse Riding, Running, In-line Skating, Rowing, Canoeing or any other outdoor pursuit that involves using paths or rivers in Glasgow?
Glasgow City Council has consulted the public on the "Glasgow Core Paths Plan" which will influence the development of Glasgow's Path Network over the next five years. THE CONSULTATION ENDED ON 30 May 2008.
The vision within the plan aims to provide a "Connected Glasgow" where residents and visitors can move easily around the path network on foot, by bike or any other non-motorised means.
Paths may be used to manage public access in environmentally sensitive areas such as parks and woodlands or on the edge of the City to help farmers and land managers to manage access on their land.
They can be anything from a tarmac path to a grassy field margin.
Whilst each core path may not be suitable for all user groups, the core path system in Glasgow as a whole will provide for people of all abilities.
Some of the paths will be on water to meet the demand s of canoeists and rowers, so you will find that the River Kelvin, White Cart and Clyde upstream of Glasgow Green are designated as 'paths on water'.
Not all paths in an area will become core paths.
We want your thoughts and ideas because you know the city Best.
