Description:

Focusing on the Clyde Waterfront, SUSTRANS has identified opportunities for future cycle provision along the north bank of the river corridor.

The existing National Cycle Route (Route 7) runs adjacent to the Clydeside Expressway, which is a busy four lane highway and the cycle link crosses this expressway at several large scale junctions. The first phase of the Riverside Cycle Link would be established between Ferryden Street and Stobcross Road connecting Glasgow Harbour and other residential locations to the wider National Cycle Network.

SUSTRANS is the UK's leading sustainable transport charity. As part of their role, the organisation provides information on existing sustainable transport resources within the UK. The organisation also identifies future opportunities for improvement of sustainable transport provision.
