Latest plans for George Square focus on replacing the red tarmac and introducing more grass.
A dramatic proposal to redevelop the square were suddenly
abandoned in January 2013, after an international design
contest.
Now a more modest plan has been drawn up. It suggests the
removal of the red tarmac, with more grassy areas established.
A second phase would then follow, after the 2014 Commonwealth
Games.
The total budget will be £15m.
Six designs had originally been commissioned by Glasgow City
Council but plans were scrapped after an adverse public
reaction.
Council leader Gordon Matheson said: "The people of Glasgow were
very vocal throughout the design competition that they did not want
a radical redesign of the square. They wanted the statues to
remain, the grass to stay and the red tarmac to go. We listened to
their views and have responded."
