Some new HA builds have blocks with courtyards and a few pends (Slatefield St/Whitevale) but no curves…

Glasgow infrastructure update, Summer 2025
In case anyone else has been losing track of all the construction projects going on just now… Glasgow City Council put out an Avenues Programme Progress Report (PDF) in April 2025. However, a …

Awful that any primary school might need Hostile Vehicle Mitigation bollards. Even worse if they don’t get anything. I’d bet on speed cushions for Polton St - usual council response…

‘Random as…’? Not with you on the cocktail hour one (mine’s an IPA). Slight soft spot for VLC cone but it belongs to Glasgow… www.geograph.org.uk/photo/6226807

Both with the obligatory traffic cone. Named Oor Wee Yin's Banter, by artist Rachael Tidmore. Wellington's horse has become a unicorn for the day.

Good to have data on this - hope it can be applied elsewhere. Please could embedded videos have bigger text for phone screens?

In Scotland…
Conversation: Edinburgh (but delivery has fallen away - some lanes/paths under threat).
Action: Glasgow - at least 9 AT projects under construction over summer (www.gobike.org/glasgow-infr...). A few due to start in West End. Dundee and Stirling also added routes in recent years.

You can do a route for that if you want. I tried to do one that avoided demolishing buildings.

No, I’m not the council so I don’t need to. CEC only gave two options so opened up the game of ‘take a punt at a tram route’. I tried to find a compromise that used the bridge but not most of the path. Made no claim on how viable/likely it was. A stop at gallery would be a plus (as BSR said too).

There’s a bit of space round the edge of St George’s playing fields if you’d prefer it to go through there? More fun (and games)…?
