VIEWS are being sought on the next stage of the £115m Avenues programme which aims to transform key city centre streets.

The Glassford Street/Stockwell Street phase could see cycle routes link up with the South City Way, footpaths widened, bus stops relocated and trees planted.

Glasgow City Council is now carrying out a public consultation, with an on-street event in Argyle Street and Glassford Street planned for this Saturday, January 25.

A spokesman said: "We would like as many people as possible to take part in this consultation – by taking part, anyone interested or with a stake in the area can help to shape its future development."

Plans show the street split into three zones, with zone one from Ingram Street to Osborne Street.

"Existing footways are already constructed to a high standard and the approach is to augment and extend these areas to tie more closely to the Merchant City character and provide a setting for key buildings such as the Trades Hall," the plans state.

Bus stop positions would be relocated to "relate to wider changes to bus routing on Argyle Street" and footways widened where possible. There are also proposals to have two traffic lanes, with a third for loading/bus bays.

Zone two is Osborne Street to Stockwell Place and work would be focused on improving "pedestrian/bus user comfort". This would involve wider footways and improved accessibility at bus stops. Hedges would also be introduced to "screen gap sites/temporary car parks".

In zone three, which runs from Stockwell Place to Bridgegate, is "dominated by the five arm junction at the Clutha" and plans are "heavily influenced" by the road's proximity to the River Clyde.

They would link with separate proposals for the Broomielaw and Clyde Street.

A segregated two-way cycle route, linking with the South City Way and River Clyde routes, is included.

There are also plans to reduce to two traffic lanes and plant trees. The junction design will be subject to further consultation.

Consultation will run until Sunday, February 9. The Avenues programme is funded by the Glasgow City Region City Deal, an agreement between the UK and Scottish Governments and eight local authorities across Glasgow and the Clyde Valley which will see £1bn invested in the area.
