Description:

This project recognises the substantial progress that Glasgow City Council has made in creating the first phase of the Yoker Linear Park, which roughly aligns with the National Cycle Route and includes new allotments and formal landscape improvements.

The proposals work on the basis that there remains a need to maintain a ferry crossing between Yoker and Renfrew.

This stretch of the existing National Cycle Route is particularly convoluted and the proposal would allow it to be rerouted.

 

Current status:

Identified as strategic project. Next steps to be agreed.
