A fully connected network of segregated cycle lanes is planned to be rolled out over the next 10 years.
Some of it is programmed in for the next year or two, including extensions to the South City Way, South West City Way, the completion of the East City Way, and a few other local (non "City Way") neighborhood projects. Connecting Woodside is the first of these, but similar ones are in the works for other parts of Glasgow. Once this first tranche is completed, we'll be getting much closer to a real City Network. I think within 5 years from now we'll be well on our way.
Thankfully the Greens also succeeded in securing a minimum 10% spend all upcoming Scottish Govt transport budgets for active travel, meaning the pot of money being dished out to councils for this has jumped from something like £80million per year, to £320million per year.
The South City Way was costed at £6.5m, so it's exciting to think what might be achieved within just a few short years with this new level of funding.
