City Network
A key output from the Active Travel Strategy is the development of the City Network, which will provide an accessible, safe, coherent and direct active travel network across Glasgow. To be delivered by 2031, the City Network will connect key amenities and drivers of travel such as education, business, retail and culture.
The Connectivity, People and Place: Interim Delivery Plan for the City Network sets out the design standards for the City Network. The proposed routes forming the network have been selected following city-wide screening for width, access to amenities, and achieving at least a medium level of service for route density according to Cycling by Design 2021 guidance.
The Final Delivery Plan for the City Network sets out the phasing of key sections of the network, allowing GCC officers to prioritise design and delivery across the city over a 10 year period. As the overarching network document for the GCC delivery teams, it will also be used to direct funding applications.
The development of the more informal Neighbourhood Network will focus on improvements for walking and wheeling to enable easy everyday active journeys within neighbourhoods, and to make easy connections to the City Network and public transport networks.
The City and Neighbourhood Networks will be co-created as part of Glasgow's Liveable Neighbourhoods programme at a multi-neighbourhood level.
City Network Phase 1: Inner North and South
This first phase, as outlined in the City Network Final Delivery Plan, focuses on the Inner North and South networks. These two distinct geographical areas of Glasgow together will form approximately 56.5km of active travel routes.
Consultants AECOM with Austin-Smith:Lord and WAVEparticle, have been appointed by Glasgow City Council NRS to progress these two project areas to Preliminary Design by the end of 2024.
