Council Seeks Views On £115m Avenues Project In Glasgow

Residents in Glasgow are being invited to submit their views on a £115 million city centre redevelopment project.

The multi-million pound Avenues project is funded through the Glasgow City Region City Deal and will see key city centre streets redesigned to protect and prioritise space for cyclists and pedestrians, improve connectivity, introduce sustainable green infrastructure through attractive streetscapes and enhancing biodiversity and improve the way public transport is accommodated.

A public consultation on the Avenues project on and around Argyle Street from Anderston Cross to Trongate, and through St Enochs Square and Dixon Street down to the Clyde, is now underway.

The event will allow residents to submit their views on initial designs, with proposals and a questionnaire available online until 13 July.

Council Leader Susan Aitken said: "The Avenues programme will transform the city centre in the coming years, and is a great example of what will be achieved for Glasgow through the City Deal. 

"The Avenues will deliver a city centre that is better connected, more attractive, and capable of bringing economic growth to residents and businesses, but we want to have the views of as many people as possible to help shape the final design of the project into something that meets the needs and aspirations of the huge number of people and organisations who use the area."
