> The shame about it is, it wouldn't even really need many new buildings or anything, just a bit of rethinking what's there, tidying up and a bit of landscaping.

Clyde Street, Stockwell Street and Argyle Street (the full city centre length of it, from Anderston down to Trongate) are lined up for Avenues-programme works over the next five years.

The western half of Argyle Street is progressing first (Anderston to Central Station), with the final designs being settled in this summer. Construction will probably begin next year, all going well.

The eastern half of Argyle Street will come after this (Central Station to Trongate).

Clyde Street is going to progress relatively soon too, as it's part of the Sustrans funded block of the Avenues programme (the part which basically has all of its funding guaranteed already), along with South Portland Street and Duke Street. They've begun local consultations on the ideas, with plans to follow this year I expect. In fact a pop up event sharing some info on this and to gauge local reaction was held at the suspension bridge on Clyde Street just last week.

Stockwell Street renovations will come a little later, but the final stage of the South City Way cycle route is to run right next to it, along Bridgegate and King Street. Construction of this final section might begin later next year, once the Gorbals section is complete.

I think the entire north bank of the river will be hugely improved in just five years or so once all this comes together.
