  • Byres Road: Design Workshop (21 March 2019)
    Byres Road: Design Workshop (21 March 2019) Participants were divided into Groups 1-6 with an attempt made to ensure that all groups included representatives from the diverse range of stakeholders in attendance. The facilitator provided a presentation on important features of the proposed concept design. Groups were invited to discuss key issues and consider whether the design features were supported or opposed. The commentary below aims to capture the main points of discussion and strength of support or opposition to particular aspects of the proposal. The nature of discussion meant that it was not always possible for groups to reach agreement- where consensus was not possible the position shared by the majority of group members has been used to identify levels of support or opposition to each design feature. 1. Re-allocation of road space Current Situation At present Byres Road is dominated by vehicular traffic- 60% of available space is occupied by carriageway despite the fact that only a third of shoppers travel to the street by car. Design Proposal The concept design proposes the narrowing of the carriageway on Byres Road to 6.0m in order to create additional pedestrian and cycling space. Proposals to narrow the carriageway will be accompanied by a range of measures to reduce the volume and speed of traffic. The proposals result in an overall reduction of road space by approximately 30%, an increase in pedestrian space by 20% and the introduction of protected cycle space. Feedback Groups were asked their views on 4 specific elements of the proposal. Design Feature Strongly Support Neither Oppose Strongly Support Support Oppose nor Oppose 1.

  • Glasgow City Council Draft Air Quality Action Plan
    Glasgow City Council Draft Air Quality Action Plan 2008 1 Executive Summary The Environment Act 1995 requires that local authorities review the air quality within their boundaries. Where the review concludes that air quality objectives will not be met within the statutory timeframe then the local authority is required to designate an Air Quality Management Area (AQMA). The local authority is then required to produce an Air Quality Action Plan (AQAP) to demonstrate how the Authority intends to work towards meeting the air quality objectives within its AQMA. Glasgow’s first AQMA was declared in 2002 for the City Centre area and subsequently the City Centre AQAP was produced in 2004. Since that time further assessment concluded that the boundary of the original AQMA required to be increased and that new AQMAs were required for both Parkhead Cross and for the Byres Road/Dumbarton Road area. This document sets out Glasgow City Council’s 2008 Air Quality Action Plan and aims to improve air quality in the three AQMAs designated on the 1st July 2007. The Plan sets out a number of actions, ranging from Low Emission Zones (also required for the 2014 Commonwealth Games) to Tree Planting, that have been identified to reduce levels of the air pollutants Nitrogen Dioxide (NO2) and Particulate Matter (PM10). The measures in this draft AQAP are those that are currently considered to be the most cost effective and appropriate for Glasgow. Following consultation with key stakeholders and members of the public, and a review by the Council’s Executive Committee, a final version of this AQAP will be published.
