South City Way Friends

South City Way Friends are a group of residents who support the council's efforts to develop a dedicated cycle route from Queens Park to the City centre.

@tcornwallis @ShowMeASignBryn Those are not official - looks like persons unknown have done it at their own initiative.

@geomannie531 Even the best places can experience drainage problems

Ah, sorry, my mistake: this flooding is in central Groningen, NL (cycle modal share c.40%). Guess it can happen everywhere, folks...

[South City Way Friends @SCWFriends]

@geomannie531 Again, the critique is of a route that is incomplete (indeed work has not even begun on the section north of The Brazen Head).

[South City Way Friends @SCWFriends]

@geomannie531 bear in mind this section is still incomplete. Refer to the section south of Queen St for a more faithful representation of what it will be like when finished.

Can't load using the loading bay if other cars are just parking in it all day...

[South City Way Friends @SCWFriends]

@thebobster888 @MickFleetwood66 We expect attitudes will change as more and more segregated cycle infrastructure is rolled out across the city, as people start to use the lanes in significant numbers and people become more familiar with them.

[South City Way Friends @SCWFriends]

Although the full, contiguous route is still incomplete, this is unacceptable. Enforcement is required

Pavement and segregated cycle path 💁🏻‍♀️

[South City Way Friends @SCWFriends]

There is a loading bay on the other side of the bar. This just requires a process change to approach the pub from a northbound direction. Come on @TennentsLager - this needs dealt with fairly

@alanthomson20 @TennentsLager @magnatom The loading bay is only about 5 meters away at the other side of the bar ☹️

[South City Way Friends @SCWFriends]

@Fuzzy19362853 Not sure we agree with this assessement. These are still early days on a single incomplete route. As with the Southwest City Way, in time (and with targeted enforcement) things will improve

[South City Way Friends @SCWFriends]

@thebobster888 @MickFleetwood66 Even in its incomplete state, it's already helping people to cycle along the route, including people who otherwise wouldn't if not for the protection of the lanes.

[South City Way Friends @SCWFriends]

@thebobster888 @MickFleetwood66 Not sure we agree it's "terrible". The cyclepath is delineated from the footway by a stepped kerb and a different colour of tarmac. This sort of design is used extensively in cities such as Copenhagen. With some tinkering and better enforcement, the situation can be remedied.

[South City Way Friends @SCWFriends]

@GovanhillGo @AnnaLangside @BeyondBicycle @KirsteenWright With that in mind, would be interested to know what "ridges" are being referred? The actual kerbs between footway and path? Or is it the tactile paving itself? If the former, would be good to know which ones specifically. (If the latter, well they are to aid people with a VI)

[South City Way Friends @SCWFriends]

@GovanhillGo @AnnaLangside @BeyondBicycle @KirsteenWright All the above said, re: enforcement, strongly suspect that police etc. would use reasonable judgement and apply common sense on observing wheelchair users on the #SCW.

Fab to see so many people using South City Way this morning. The demand is there and it's not even fully open yet! #Glasgow @AnnaLangside @SustransScot @John_Lauder @leecraigie_

[South City Way Friends @SCWFriends]

Similar design to some of the junctions on #SouthCityWay - maybe greater familiarity over time will improve motorist compliance?
