South-West City Way extension.
Welcome to the information and public engagement page for the proposed extension to the South West City Way within Glasgow.
Please note that the public engagement exercise for the proposed works has now closed.
This website will remain live for the public to view drawings related to the proposals and for the City Council to share information related to the project.
Following the completion of the public engagement (3rd February 2020) the City Council shall prepare a report detailing the findings and feedback collected during this process. This report will be available to download from this site as soon as it is completed.
As such please check back regularly for updates.

The Route
The existing South-West City Way provides connectivity to the main employement and leisure areas of the city centre as-well as neighbourhoods under new development including Tradeston and the upcoming new developments in Tradeston.
The extension of the route running along St Andrews Drive will open these up to a larger number of Glasgow's citizens and increase the possibilities for journeys to be undertaken through active travel modes, i.e walking / cycling etc.
In addition to this, speed reduction measures are proposed for St Andrews drive to increase safety for users.
The plan opposite shows the existing South City Way route and the route of proposed extension.
What is being proposed?
Current active travel provision on the South-West City Way
The design being put forward continues the same design philosphy as the existing route, with a two way cycle route being provided on one side of St Andrews Drive. The proposals also include the following:
- Segregation of cycle lanes from vehicle traffic using cycle seperators.
- Extensive road resurfacing to improve user experience.
- Reduction in width of existing traffic lanes on St Andrews Drive to reduce speed.
- Maintaining provision for vehicle drop off / deliveries along the entire route.
- No Vehicle parking along the same side as the cycle route while drop off and delivery maintained.
- Parking and drop off / delivery maitained on the opposite side.
- Cycle lane seperator islands to highlight driveways and vehicle entrances.
- Redesign and construction of the Haggs Rd / Dumbeck Rd junction to allow safe movement of pedestrians and cyclists and improve access to Pollok Country Park.
- High Access Kerbs and footway improvements at bus stops.
- New pedestrian crossing facilites being provided at junctions and the use of "Segregated" crossings.
- At Traffic signal controlled junctions, cyclists will have dedicated traffic signals.
- Speed reduction measures to be agreed with the local community.

Drawings / examples of infrastructre.
Below you will find a number example images of typical infrastructre used on active travel routes together with a number of links, each link will open a PDF drawing of a section of the proposed works.
As the project area is quite large, each section has been broken down into smaller chunks to make it easier to view and consider.
