Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 13 Oct, 14:32 · Archive

Glasgow City Council has launched a consultation on plans to improve Corunna Street, Minerva Street and St Vincent Crescent.

Glasgow City Council has launched a public consultation on proposals to improve three streets in the Kelvingrove area: Corunna Street, Minerva Street and St Vincent Crescent. The plans aim to create safer, greener and more accessible streets to support walking, cycling and wheeling.

The proposals include upgraded pavements and crossings, introducing more greenery and seating, improved signage and new on-street and secure cycle parking. On Corunna Street specifically, the council proposes making it one-way northbound between St Vincent Crescent and Argyle Street, with a dedicated southbound cycle lane. On Minerva Street, upgraded walking and cycling routes would be complemented by improvements to the public realm outside Exhibition Centre train station.

The designs have already been revised following earlier community feedback, with more trees and cycle parking added in response. Councillor Angus Millar, city convener for transport and climate, said the proposals offered an opportunity to create safer and more welcoming streets while transforming the space outside Exhibition Centre station into 'an attractive gateway'. He added that those living or spending time in Kelvingrove should help refine the proposals, as their experience would be vital to the process.
