East City Way

East City Way is part of Glasgow's "City Ways" cycle network, as part of the Glasgow Active Travel Strategy, these are routes which radiate from the city centre and provide key walking and cycling corridors to encourage and provide sustainable transport opportunities. When completed the East City Way will provide a continuous and segregated cycle route linking the existing routes from Bridgeton to Daldowie Road near the Glasgow boundary.

East City Way has been split into 7 design sections which is in the process of being delivered in phases with linked public consultations based on each design section. So far, Phase 1 at Mount Vernon, Phases 6 and 7 at London Road have been successfully completed of to coincide with the Cycling World Championships in 2023. It is proposed to continue the bi-directional cycle lanes East of Canmore street to Braidfauld street which will form Phase 5. A concept design is currently being prepared and will be going to public consultation later this year.

The proposals include connecting the existing bi-directional cycle lanes to a kerb segregated "with flow" cycle lanes on the north and south kerbline of London Road. These measures will replace the current Spaces for People soft segregation along this stretch of London Road.

Junctions along these phases will also be upgraded to benefit both pedestrians and cyclists. Some aspects of the junction improvement will include:

• Automatic detectors for cyclists to allow for safe passage through junctions
• Cyclists given priority over motor vehicles during each green phase
• Improved pedestrian signals and footways

This project is in line with Scottish Government and Glasgow City Council objectives to encourage cycling and use of sustainable transport, which is within the Glasgow Active Travel Strategy.

East City Way - Phase 6 and 7 Consultation

Over the summer Glasgow City Council held a period of consultation for the East City Way.

Thank you to all that took the time to complete our survey and provide us with valuable feedback.

Based on all comments received, GCC Officers have reviewed and amended our final designs. Details of this can be found in the ECW  6 and 7 Engagement Report July 2022 below.
