Glasgow city centre is set to benefit from 25km of extra space for physical distancing to help combat the spread of COVID-19.

Work will take place this weekend to install temporary travel infrastructure on roads around Glasgow Central Station, as part of the council's Spaces for People programme which is providing extra space for physical distancing to protect public health and suppress a second wave of COVID-19.

A green man revolution will benefit city centre pedestrians, with twenty sets of traffic lights at busy crossing points now automated, removing the need to push the button that prompts the green man to display.

A new online platform launched today (5 Jun, 2020) will empower people to share their suggestions for creating safer spaces in Glasgow for walking, cycling and wheeling, as COVID-19 restrictions are eased.

Glasgow's hugely popular bike hire scheme has recorded one million hires just as a significant expansion of the service is about to go live.

Work starts tomorrow to install temporary travel infrastructure on key streets around George Square, as part of the council's Spaces for People programme which is providing extra space for physical distancing to protect public health and suppress a resurgence of COVID-19.
