Location:
Clydebank & Erskine, Clydebank Town Centre
Description:
Clydebank re-built are currently focused on improving the quality of the town centre for local people and businesses.
Transport is key to this objective, enabling a dedicated transport Hub for trains, buses and taxis in Chalmers St whilst also improving access and amenity for pedestrians and connecting the town centre with the riverside. New junction upgrades have recently been completed at Cart St/Glasgow Rd and Kilbowie Rd/Chalmers St.
Upgrading of busbays has taken place in Chalmers St by extending bays and adding shelter provision capable of realtime information and CCTV coverage.
The next stage focuses on Alexander St and Hume St, creating a new junction on to Glasgow Rd and making Alexander St two-way, allowing Chalmers to become dedicated to transport traffic. This arrangement will provide better access for residents and businesses.
The pavements will be improved in Alexander St and a new open public space will be created onto Glasgow Rd composed of high quality granite, with new tree planting, improved lighting and street furniture adding a high amenity space for locals to enjoy.
