PLANS are under way to make commuting by bike and foot safer in the west end.

Residents who stay at Queen Margaret Drive in North Kelvinside have been calling for changes to improve the roads for pedestrians and cyclists.

Now Glasgow City Council (GCC) has now started a project that hopes to enhance provision in the area.

Several design options have been suggested and will be put on display as part of a consultation document.

This include wider pavements, new road layouts, new cycle lanes and crossings.

Plans have yet to be finalised and members of the public are being asked for their opinions and suggestions. 

A public drop-in session will take place on Wednesday, November 22.

It will take place from 3pm to 7pm at 76 Kelbourne Scout Hall, Kelbourne Street.

The consultation document reads: "The aim of this event is to highlight design options available for Queen Margaret Drive and to gather comments.

"The outcome is to achieve a design that can be constructed in partnership with Sustrans and the local community.

"We are proposing a number of changes to improve the environment for cyclists, pedestrians, local residents and businesses.

"New designs could see the implementation of: Improved paths; Improved pedestrian crossings; Reallocation of road space; cycle lanes.

"This is to, Improve public space, increase the number of cyclists, increase road safety and reduce sustainable transport journey times.

"The options available are not limited to those shown; we are welcome to new ideas and options.

"The consultation will allow acceptable designs to progress in order to achieve match funding from Sustrans in 2018/19."
