1) Introduction in Recent Years Our Community Has Been Transformed Yorkhill & Kelvingrove Community Council Cycling Village Proposal Yorkhill Kelvingrove Cycling Village (1.3) 1) Introduction In recent years our community has been transformed. We have seen additional student and residential accommodation constructed. The redevelopment of Kelvin Hall, the opening of the Riverside Museum and an improved Kelvingrove Museum, all of which have helped to increase visitor numbers. Our neighbour, the Scottish Events Campus has added the SSE Hydro, resulting in part, to a flurry of new businesses opening along our streets. Increasingly, our community now attracts people from all over the City, the UK and further afield. With this boom in tourist numbers and with more and more Glaswegians choosing to spend their recreational time here with us, there is a need to invest in our streetscape to combat the effects of increased congestion and pollution, thereby allowing our residents to live in a greener, safer environment. Our vision for Yorkhill, Kelvingrove and Finnieston is that our streets will be a safe and attractive place for visitors and residents to discover and enjoy; where the needs of pedestrians and cyclists are considered a priority, where people are able to move around easily between their homes, transport hubs, community facilities and local businesses. We strongly believe our residents and visitors should be able to access all of our services and attractions, through a series of connected, protected cycle lanes, which link to the national infrastructure. To achieve this vision, we are pursuing ways to improve our streetscapes, to provide cycling facilities (including connections to promoted cycle routes), to assist navigation, to enhance our architectural heritage, and to introduce green elements to our local environment. Working with Sustrans and Glasgow City Council, our efforts have already resulted in: Improvements to a number of roads and footways, making them safer for pedestrians and novice cyclists A signage audit has been conducted with a view to improving directional signage Recently installed in our community are 2 new Nextbike stations, bringing the total number to 5 The installation of a number of cycle stands for secure parking Two on-street bike pumps have been funded by Balfour Beatty 1 Yorkhill & Kelvingrove Community Council Cycling Village Proposal We have also created an Area Map which can be viewed electronically or used as a leaflet to help visitors and residents find local services and attractions. See attached Appendix for details of what the Community Council has achieved so far. 2) The Next Steps: We propose improving the public realm in streets such as St Vincent Crescent, Corunna and Minerva St, to create a more appropriate setting for the architectural heritage and a better ‘gateway’ to the area for people arriving from/going to the SEC. Within this we propose the possible introduction of street trees. Within Yorkhill we would like to encourage greater footfall in Old Dumbarton Road – making it a ‘destination’, to help support residents and the local business community. Additionally, working together with local residents and Yorkhill Housing Association, we propose public realm improvements for Lumsden Street, together with on street, secured cycle storage for Arthur Street. Transiting through our community are three National Cycle routes, through Kelvingrove Park (NCN 754), along the Clyde side (NCN 7/75) and the West City Way (NCN 756). We propose linking these routes. During April 2018 to March 2019, in conjunction with Sustrans, we will conduct a feasibility study to understand how cyclists navigate our community to identify new routes for infrastructure improvements. The initial public consultation will occur at ‘Bike for Good’, 65 Haugh Rd, Glasgow G3 8TX. Saturday 9th June -09:00 to 17:00 Wednesday 13th June - 15:00 to 20:00. 3) Proposals for specific locations 3.1) St Vincent Crescent, Minerva and Corunna Street We suggest retention of all parking. Our proposed route for the cycleway: The entrance of the ‘Red Tunnel’ (linking the SEC/Hydro and Finnieston), northwards along the western side of Minerva Street, to its junction at St Vincent Crescent. Along the southern side of St Vincent Crescent to its junction with Corunna Street. Along the southern side of Minerva Street from its junction with Finnieston Street to its junction with St Vincent Crescent. 2 Yorkhill & Kelvingrove Community Council Cycling Village Proposal The red line delineates the suggested protected bi-directional cycleway Suggested road alterations: 2.0 metre footway. Respecting the architectural heritage and conservation status of this area we support the reintroduction of Caithness Stone for Corunna Street and the north side footway along St Vincent Crescent and Minerva Street. Together with trees for that part of Minerva Street, at its junction with St Vincent Crescent to Exhibition Railway station. 3 metre bi-directional cycle lane. No green surface only road markings. 1 metre ‘safe strip’ for people to access their vehicles e.g. Image A Image A 3 Yorkhill & Kelvingrove Community Council Cycling Village Proposal Potential benefits Connecting the Clyde side cycleway (NCN 7/75) to the West City Way (NCN 756) in Anderson and the national cycle route through Kelvingrove Park (NCN 754). Connecting the Nextbike station at the junction of Finnieston Street to the wider cycle network. Public realm works to create a suitable ‘gateway’ for visitors to the SEC/Hydro. Reduction in road width to prevent double parking during event nights. Reduction in road width to reduce idling during event nights. Reduction in road width to reduce excessive speed. Image 1 Red Tunnel Entrance/Exit, looking north. Image 2 Northbound along Minerva Street At this point the cycle lane could split to the West and East. Image 3 Junction of Minerva Street and St Vincent Crescent, looking north. 4 Yorkhill & Kelvingrove Community Council Cycling Village Proposal Image 4 Westbound along the southern edge of St Vincent Crescent At this point the road narrows, reducing the opportunity of a protected bi-directional cycle lane We do not suggest a reduction in car parking spaces. Image 5 Junction of St Vincent Crescent and Corunna Street (Westbound) 3.2) Corunna Street The road appears too narrow to accommodate a separate bi- directional cycleway. We do not suggest a reduction in car parking spaces. Image 6 Corunna Street, looking north to its junction with Argyle Street. 5 Yorkhill & Kelvingrove Community Council Cycling Village Proposal 3.3) Eastbound along the southern edge of Minerva Street Leading to the Nextbike Station, at the junction of Finnieston Street. The protected, bi- directional cycle lane could continue on the southern edge. Image 7 3.4) Connecting St Vincent Crescent/Minerva Street to the West City Way (NCN 756) via Finnieston and Holdsworth Streets. To improve access to the West City Way (NCN 756), we seek improvements to the junction of Finnieston Street and Argyle Street, similar to that proposed by Glasgow City Council at Kelvinhall. Working with Anderston Community Council, the route could continue along Holdsworth Street, connecting with existing infrastructure at Anderston Cross, for the City Centre. Image 8 Image 9 Finnieston Street, looking north towards Argyle Street. 6 Yorkhill & Kelvingrove Community Council Cycling Village Proposal Image 10 Image 11 Holdsworth Street, looking east, leading to the West City Way (756) 7 Yorkhill & Kelvingrove Community Council Cycling Village Proposal 3.5) Kelvinhaugh, Yorkhill and Gilbert Streets Potential benefits Connecting the Nextbike station on Argyle Street with NCN 7/75. Connecting the bi-directional cycle lane on Old Dumbarton Road with Finnieston and NCN 754 and 756. 3.6) Kelvinhaugh Street Due to there being no adjoining roads, we suggest the addition of a cycle lane on the southern edge of the street. As can be seen from the images below, parking along this side of the street is perpendicular to the pavement, with tree’s separating parking areas. It is our suggestion to retain these trees, along with those parking spaces situated between the junctions of Argyle and Yorkhill Streets. We propose the council investigate re-aligning those parking spaces which are perpendicular to the pavement, on the southern side. Re-alignment could lead to a reduction in the number of parking spaces. However, many residential developments in this location have their own parking. Consequently, due to the remaining properties being student accommodation, we do not anticipate any issues. In the first instance, subject to investigations, we suggest a protected, bi-directional cycle lane inserted between the trees and footway, see image A. 8 Yorkhill & Kelvingrove Community Council Cycling Village Proposal Should this not be possible, we suggest a marked cycle lane with an associated buffer strip to protect cyclist from car doors, see image B: Image B Image 12 Kelvinhaugh Street, looking west, towards Sandyford Street. Image 13 Kelvinhaugh Street with perpendicular parking bays, looking west. 9 Yorkhill & Kelvingrove Community Council Cycling Village Proposal Image 14 In image 14, the southern side parking bays could be removed to accommodate a bi-directional cycle lane. Kelvinhaugh Street, looking west. Image 15 Kelvinhaugh Street, looking west (after its junction with Yorkhill Street) From here, there are no planted areas. We suggest the re-alignment of those bays which are perpendicular to the pavement, on the southern side, to accommodate a
