Cowcaddens Road Cycle lane

In this video I look at Cowcaddens road and how the cycle lane is starting to take shape there. This includes some drone shots of the progress so far. This was mostly filmed on the 30th November. After that I head to St Georges cross to see how that is coming along. Compared to my last visit there you can now see the shape of the bi directional cycle lane before it crosses over to the north side of the road. then I head to Byres road to look at the junction with university avenue. From there I cycle to Yorkhill street as they are building a continuation of the cycle lane that’s on Old Dumbarton road there. Then its along to Argyle street and we have a look at the closed part and the progress there. You can see how quickly its going now that the road has been closed. After that its South Portland street and I’m quite happy with the work so far as it looks to have taken off since my last visit. Then its up the south city way until Langside road and how it’s now been made permanent from Grange road junction all the way to the entrance to the park before the roundabout.

Morning. Is it morning? I don’t know. Is where you are. I’m just checking out some cycle lanes in and around Glasgow. See this guy stops for me. Escad’s road. And it’s very icy today. So I’m being super super careful. Probably going bit too fast right now. But you need to see how wide this cycle lane is. I’ll just cross over here. I mean, look at that. That’s great. Heat. Heat. Even looking at the plans, it never occurred to me that it was going to be this wide. So, this is a great thing. What I’m going to do just now is I’m going to head over to St. George’s Cross. Then I’m going to go to Buyers Road at the junction with University Avenue. And then after that look at a girl street. Then after a girl street, South Portland Street and then I’m going to go to Queens Park cuz I’ve been told that there’s a we bit of work going on up there. So let’s head to St. George’s Cross. Heat. Heat. Heat. Heat. I was planning on getting a drone shot at this junction, but the only bit that’s been added need is this bit on the west side. So they must be doing the cycling on the west side before moving over to the east side. It’s going to take ages to do this. Thanks very much. a GTI Golf. You have a look at that. That is glorious. Go this way. So, is this a continuation of a cycle lane going down there gardens short street? Try to figure out what that means. No, I don’t want to go up that way. There’s only I hate that weaving in and out. I put this Thanks. Yeah, that’s good. That is green there. Huh? So that’s cool. Brilliant. That’s what I like to see. So St. George’s Road, that’s pretty cool because they’ve worked our way up to just past the junction on Mary Hill Road and up to the satellites uh pedestrian crossing and then it’s going to cross over the road from there. Um the other thing we went to was Buyers Road at University Avenue. that junction they’ve just added one we bit onto that and then after that we went to what we call it connecting York Hill and Kelvin Grove and you can see the cycle lane’s been started on York Hill Street which is great it’s just a little we network around about there which will help um the other thing we went to see was South Portland Street and South Portland Street. That’s the first time I’ve actually seen a cycle lane or the imprint for a cycle lane there. So, and then we got down to the junction and this started the Cyclops junction there. So, you can see we bits that take shape. The thing about this is this is all kind of add on to areas that are already like kind of got high amount of cyclists. So, I was quite happy to come up to the South City Way and see that they’ve made that we bit up the back there. Can’t remember the name of the street permanent, but uh that’s that’s a big thing. And I’ve talked about that in videos before where you put the soft segregation down. If it works, then put something permanent in. If it doesn’t, change it. Put it somewhere else. Oh, sorry. I’m blind. Heat. Heat.
