The wheels are in motion on exciting plans for a new cycle path linking Helensburgh, Cardross and Dumbarton which will deliver a further boost to P站色情片 and Bute鈥檚 climate friendly credentials.
P站色情片 is asking members of the public to give their views on the proposed design for the new cycle and walking path to run between the towns.
As part of the Council鈥檚 consultation with the local community, a survey asking for views on the preferred design of the path has been launched online at /forms/cyclepath
The new path will link to existing national cycle path network and give access to paths across Loch Lomond, Glasgow and Edinburgh.
The path will be three metres wide and intended for use by cyclists, wheelers and walkers. Additional safety features will include pedestrian and cycle crossings over the A814 in Cardross and Ardoch. Funding and land will need to be secured before works start on each section of the path
The launch of the survey follows on from feedback received from the previous consultation on the route for the path which was carried out in 2019.
The Council is keen to encourage as many responses as possible from the local community as the survey results will assist the design of the path with the final design stage expected to be completed by 2022.
Councillor Robin Currie, Leader of the Council:
鈥淐ompletion of the new path will provide a dedicated, high quality, accessible walking and cycle route for our communities in Helensburgh, Cardross and Ardoch .
鈥淭his is further evidence of the Council鈥檚 longstanding commitment to active travel and to creating a climate friendly environment in P站色情片 and Bute.
鈥淲hile further discussions have still to take place in the New Year with potential funding partners and landowners in the local community, it鈥檚 great to see the design proposals for the scheme taking shape and progressing in this way.鈥
Emily Gait, Infrastructure Coordinator with Sustrans Scotland:
鈥淲e are delighted to support P站色情片 on this exciting project. The route will be a key commuter and community link with benefits for all.
鈥淥ur research has found that people across Scotland are willing to walk and cycle more and to use their cars less, but having the right kind of infrastructure where people feel safe is a big part of making it easier for them to do so.
鈥淚t would be great to get a big response to the survey, so I鈥檇 encourage anyone who lives, works or travels in the areas to take part.鈥
The design stage of the project is being funded by a successful application to the highly competitive Transport Scotland鈥檚 Places for Everyone programme, administered by Sustrans, and by Strathclyde Partnership for Transport鈥檚 Capital Programme.
The consultation closes on 23 January 2022.
