The plan is for it to eventually extend further up Maryhill Rd, as far as the boundary with East Dumbartonshire.
The Garscube Rd section was built as part of local works, part of the "Connecting Woodlands" project, with other similar paths planned for St George's Road and Woodlands Road.
Up till now, cycling schemes have only been able to be delivered in this sort of hyper local, neighbourhood project way. Bundled into wider neighbourhood improvement plans (which get funding from the Scottish Govt / UK Govt as specific local regeneration projects).
This is changing now, as the Scottish Govt active travel budget (and by extension, the pot of money available to councils for active travel projects) is greatly expanding.
Soon we'll see more cycle paths built as standalone projects, no longer dependent on being bundled into local regeneration plans.
Check out the planned future cycling map. Once it's built, you'll be able to get nearly anywhere in the city safely by bike.

> i'll just be happy if they give cyclists a safer way to cross the clyde that's not a massive detour to avoid the clyde tunnel cycle path.
Construction of the Govan - Partick bridge is staying soon. |
