This Transport Strategy forms part of the overall City Centre Strategy. The strategy has sought to identify problems, understand development proposals and identify solutions. Developing the Strategy The City Centre Transport Strategy has been developed using the Scottish Transport Appraisal Guidance (STAG). It is an objective led process which enables the development of a balanced strategy. A key part of the STAG process is widespread and ongoing consultation which has been undertaken throughout the development of the strategy. A Changing City Centre The city centre is constantly changing as land-use developments are taken forward which can lead to transport impacts. The current proposals include the Fastlink bus service, George Square redevelopment, Cathedral Street Bridge refurbishment, Buchanan Galleries expansion and Strathclyde University repositioning around Cathedral Street. Page 4 Glasgow City Centre Transport Strategy Executive Summary Transport Issues in the City Centre The city centre faces a number of transport problems which this strategy seeks to address. These issues have been identified through extensive analysis and consultation and have been summarised as: Walking and Cycling Public Transport Traffic and Parking • Pedestrian Environment • Public Transport Network • Traffic Movement Issues Impacts Restrictions • Poor Conditions for • Quality of Public Transport • Traffic Demand Issues Cycling • Provision Accidents • Parking Objectives Five objectives have been defined which are consistent with the wider strategic context, designed to address the issues above and have also been developed taking account of the feedback received from consultation. The five objectives, presented in no particular order and each carrying equal weighting, are: 1. Increase the modal share of trips to/from and within the city centre by walking, cycling and public transport; 2. Provide access for residents, blue badge holders, tourists and traffic essential to sustain economic functions; 3. Enhance the quality and legibility of main pedestrian spaces, key development areas and main access routes; 4. Reduce harmful traffic emissions; and 5. Enhance road safety and personal security for all city centre users. Page 5 Glasgow City Centre Transport Strategy Executive Summary Strategy Summary Key aspects of the Transport Strategy are as follows: . Restriction of non essential through traffic from the city centre to allow priority for buses, cyclists and pedestrians through the introduction of selected bus gates at key locations. Introduction of Avenues / segregated cycle routes. The concept of Avenues was developed through the Districts Strategy element of the overall City Centre Strategy. They are streets where the balance is shifted towards sustainable transport and placemaking with a more people oriented approach. Potential bus hubs at Union Street and Dunlop Street. The desire for a southern bus hub in the city centre emerged through consultation. It may help reduce number of through buses in the city centre. Review of bus stop usage on key corridors like Renfield Street / Union Street, introduce specific bus hubs and gates to facilitate better designed public space and access to public transport. Several traffic management options to provide alternative economically attractive routes for buses to help reduce the number of buses on Renfield / Union Street. Reduction in on-street parking on Avenues to provide cycling facilities and on main bus corridors and to allow widening of footways at key locations. Introduction of enhanced pedestrian facilities. Introduction of mandatory 20mph zone across the city centre. Support for Subway enhancements, Crossrail, rail link to Glasgow Airport and a High Speed Rail link between Glasgow and Edinburgh Page 6 Glasgow City Centre Transport Strategy 1. Introduction Purpose of the Strategy Introduction Glasgow City Council launched a City Centre Strategy aimed The area covered by the City Centre Transport at tackling the economic, planning, environmental and Strategy is broadly contained within the boundaries traffic issues in November 2013. The development of a of the M8, High Street and the River Clyde as Transport Strategy was a key action of the overall Strategy. illustrated in the figure below. A fundamental aspect of the City Centre Strategy is the Districts Strategy, which involves dividing the city centre into nine distinct Districts and the establishment of a Regeneration Framework for each. The feedback from the Transport Strategy will play an important role in how each Regeneration Framework is developed. The City Centre Transport Strategy has sought to: . Identify Problems that currently affect travel in and around the city centre and that could affect it in the future; . Understand Development Proposals and their implications for transport in the city centre; and . Identify Solutions to improve and promote more sustainable travel in and around the city centre.

This best practice guide provides a framework for comparing potential transport schemes and strategies to assist in identifying preferred solutions. It is an objective led process which enables the development of a balanced strategy. However, conflicts of interest are inevitable and it is not always possible to fully resolve these. Instead the STAG process seeks to highlight where these conflicts exist and minimise them as much as possible. There are four elements to the STAG process: . Pre-appraisal: understanding what problems and issues need addressed and what opportunities there are to improve transport; . Part 1 appraisal: where potential solutions are assessed at a high level and any that are not suitable are discarded; . Part 2 appraisal: where remaining potential solutions are assessed in more detail, including transport modelling where appropriate, to determine which provide the greatest benefits and least disbenefits; . Post appraisal: developing a monitoring and evaluation plan to assess how well the potential solutions deliver the anticipated benefits. A key part of the STAG process is widespread and ongoing consultation with those likely to be affected by the proposals. The preparation of this draft strategy forms part of this consultation process. Regular consultation with key organisations has also been undertaken during the process of preparing this draft strategy.

  • Gobike High Street Saltmarket Action Plan Comments 010518
    Dana Duffy PO Box 15175, Glasgow, G4 9LP Development and Regeneration Services Glasgow City Council. e-mail: [email protected] 231 George Street, Glasgow, G1 1RX web: www.gobike.org By e-mail to: [email protected] Ref: TF/D6 Cc: Councillor Angus Millar, [email protected] 01 May 2018 Dear Ms Duffy, THE GLASGOW CITY COUNCIL, High Street/Saltmarket Action Plan We have been made aware of the current consultation for the High Street and Saltmarket and are grateful for the opportunity to comment. We have made our members and supporters aware of the consultation and we understand that a significant number of them have responded to the on-line survey. However, many of the questions there are not applicable to an active travel campaign group such as GoBike and thus we offer the following comments: It is important that the High Street and Saltmarket are revitalised and shops, cafes and businesses are attracted to the area but the street environment must be radically improved to encourage people to walk and cycle along the street and spend time there. Currently the street is a four-lane highway with cars, vans, buses travelling through. So what must be done? The pavements must be widened and their surface improved, with unnecessary street furniture removed, to encourage people to walk and window shop, perhaps even sit outside a cafe. Cycle lanes must be introduced; people already cycle along the street, dodging the parked vehicles and those that are speeding and their journeys will be made less hazardous by the provision of cycle lanes.

The motorway, combined with the Clyde, creates the impression of a “walled city” and in some ways creates a barrier which separates elements of the city centre which were never designed to be separated. The eastern edge of the city centre is less clearly defined and is the historic heart of the city, however while fragments of its historic roots remain its new identity is yet to be fully formed. The River Clyde acts as a barrier in its current condition with a lack of activity on both sides creating an inhospitable environment, and the Clyde is not yet a destination in its own right. While the City Centre Strategy will be based on the Development Plan boundary, it will also include areas that lie on the edge which are strategically important despite falling outwith the official boundary. This will ensure that areas like the cultural regeneration of the Clyde, the emerging North Quarter, and activity on the East End and in Tradeston can be incorporated into the strategic planning for the city centre. www.glasgow.gov.uk Getting Ahead of Change: Glasgow City Centre Strategy 2013–18 03 Sighthill Cowcaddens Kelvingrove Garnethill Townhead Blythswood Glasgow Anderston City Centre Merchant City Broomielaw St Enoch The Barras Districts Strategy • Districts Nine new Districts will have discrete area strategies developed around their current and future attraction, amenity and speciality.
