The Connecting Yorkhill and Kelvingrove plans intend to provide safer, greener and more welcoming streets, making it easier to walk, wheel and cycle in the area.

Local people have been invited by Glasgow City Council to help influence the final designs, which have been altered after earlier community engagement. In response to feedback, additional trees and cycle parking were added. 

On Minerva Street, upgraded walking, wheeling and cycling routes would be featured alongside an enhanced public realm outside Exhibition Centre station. 

Corunna Street would become one-way northbound between St Vincent Crescent and Argyle Street, with the addition of a dedicated southbound cycle lane.

Proposals also include upgraded pavements and crossings, clearer signage and wayfinding, and new on-street and secure cycle parking.

Councillor Angus Millar, convener for Transport and Climate, said: “These proposals are an opportunity to create safer, more accessible and more welcoming streets in Kelvingrove, while transforming the space outside Exhibition Centre train station into an attractive gateway that reflects the character of the surrounding area.

“By improving pavements and crossings, introducing more greenery and seating, and making it easier for people to find their way around, we want to support everyday journeys and create public spaces that work better for everyone.”

Millar added: “Those who live or spend time in Kelvingrove know the area best, and their experience will be vital in helping us refine these proposals. 

“I would encourage everyone with an interest in the area to look at the plans and share their views so that the final designs reflect local needs and priorities.”

An online consultation survey is now open and will run until 22 November. 

A public drop-in event will also take place on 21 October, from 3.30 pm until 7 pm, at The Pyramid at Anderston on 759 Argyle Street.

At Exchange House, 231 George Street, The Pyramid at Anderston and the National Library of Scotland at Kelvin Hall, paper copies of the survey are available.

Transport Scotland’s Active Travel Infrastructure Fund (ATIF) is fully funding the design and consultation work for connecting Yorkhill and Kelvingrove.
