| Comment | I think it's because they're part of the citywide "Spaces for People" project, expanding pavements and installing temporary active travel corridors in response to Covid.
I'm pretty sure OP is mistaken - it's not a regular cycle lane (installed through the regular planning process), but a "temporary" one, like the Broomielaw or London Road.
The reason there was no consultation (I think) is because the council voted to give the council executive emergency powers to do this back in May/June. Part of the reason for the speed is cause the money for it came from the emergency Sustrans budget, that councils had to bid for by mid-summer.

I'm finding it hard to find a detailed story reporting the specific council vote (something thats usually poorly reported), but I do remember seeing coverage of it at the time. |
