Members of the public are being invited to have their say on plans to create a three-way footbridge in Maryhill.
Scottish Canals have launched the consultation before a detailed planning application for the infrastructure link is submitted.
The bridge aims to improve physical connections for both residents and canal users.
Currently, walkers and cyclists heading to and from the Bishopbriggs/Kirkintilloch/Falkirk side of the canal to and from the section between Maryhill and Speirs Wharf have to go via steep slopes and a narrow tunnel under the canal shared with vehicles on Lochburn Road.
