Public engagement is being held on improvements at Canniesburn Toll in Bearsden.
The Council is seeking views on plans to enhance the area for motorists, pedestrians and cyclists.
Plans include:
- Traffic lights at approaches to the roundabout, with pedestrian crossings (drop kerbs and tactile paving)
- Vehicle parking provision for businesses on the Toll with a Blue Badge bay, and provision for loading and servicing (eg bin collection)
- Cycle parking outside businesses on the Toll
- Measures to improve drainage issues.
A project website has been set up to showcase concept designs and give members of the community the chance to provide feedback
People are invited to give their views between Friday 14 May and Friday 4 June 2021. All feedback will be collated and used to inform the final plans.
The website - developed with consultants Stantec - will be updated throughout the design and construction phases.
The Council's approved Local Transport Strategy 2020-2025 sets out the ambition to improve Canniesburn Toll and the surrounding area for all modes of travel.
Thomas Glen, Depute Chief Executive - Place, Neighbourhood and Corporate Assets, said, "We hope as many people as possible can get involved and help to inform the Canniesburn Toll Improvement Project, which aims to make the area better for motorists, pedestrians and cyclists.
"As well as traffic lights to control vehicle movements and allow people to cross, the designs include the removal of the footway section which wraps around the central island - improving safety.
"A drainage scheme is also being developed to reduce the risk of flooding and to control the flow of surface water, particularly during heavy downpours."
Concept design options have been developed following internal workshops and technical considerations.
The options will be subject to traffic modelling processes to understand how they will impact on all road users, including potential queueing and future traffic growth.
It is anticipated that final designs will be completed by summer 2021, with the construction phase commencing late 2021.
Funding has been secured from developer contributions as part of the Kilmardinny Masterplan.
