'Suggest a Route' - creating a strategic active travel network

‘Suggest a Route’ to East Renfrewshire Council

Looking Ahead

The response to the Commonplace site has been, and continues to be, excellent. Your help in identifying problem spots and suggesting potential solutions is invaluable, and the data will be used by the Council to help prioritise temporary changes to the streets and paths. This week, we are looking slightly further ahead; once these measures are in place, where else would you like to see new active travel routes implemented?

Strategic Cycle Corridors

The Council have already identified four Strategic Cycle Corridors , along main routes, which will undergo temporary changes to improve accessibility and safety. These are;

  • Barrhead – Dovecot Roundabout to Allan’s Corner
  • Newton Mearns to Giffnock – A77
  • Clarkston Toll to Netherlee – B767
  • Eastwood Toll to Spiersbridge Roundabout – A727
  • Suggest a Route

    Although feedback on these routes is welcome, we are mainly seeking your input to identify opportunities to develop a supporting network. This could utilise quieter streets and identify useful links to/from key destinations. This may also include off-road sections, such as paths through parks or other greenspaces, which could become part of the network with some simple changes.

    Around 20 potential routes have already been plotted on the interactive map , covering much of East Renfrewshire. You can vote and comment on these suggestions, or propose your own ideas by drawing directly onto the map. The map is open for contributions until Friday 24th July.

    Please share this information and the link to the map with anyone you think would be interested in contributing.

    Finally, a reminder that the full details of the Council’s Transport Response to COVID-19 can be found here: https://bit.ly/C19TransportResponse
