| Comment | It was added as something of an ad-hoc emergency cycling lane during the early months of the pandemic.
Quick and dirty upgrading of the cycle network using existing vehicle lanes, giving people a better means of getting around on bikes rather than on public transport (around 50% of Glasgow residents don't own a car remember!).
This street is due to be upgraded eventually as part of the 'Avenue' programme of works, but that might be a few years down the line. So, to avoid unnecessary road redesign, which would then just be redesigned again in a few years, this is probably how it will be for a while. It's not a disaster.
There's talk that it'll become officially 2-way soon though, which would be a better use of the width. |
