Handover concept design for Battlefield Street Design project

Sustrans Scotland and Glasgow City Council are working together with everyone who has an interest in Battlefield to improve the quality of the public spaces and transform the character of the area, putting people rather than motor vehicles at its heart.

Since September 2018 we have been engaging with the community to develop a concept design that represents local aspirations for a better quality street environment in Battlefield and the wider area.

Over the course of the project 1,224 people attended events and activities plus we had 6,784 visitors to our project website. We have consulted with Consulted with local residents, businesses, schools and the college, access panels, local community groups and councils, councillors, SPT and First Bus plus many more. Your comments and feedback have helped refine and shape the design proposals in the area.

On Tuesday 23rd July 2019 we showcased these design updates to the public at an open event at Langside Parish Church in Battlefield . Here we shared the feedback we received and the design changes which have been made.

The design for this area aims to create a pleasant public space for people to feel comfortable, safe and happy, unify the new development with the existing town centre , create a simpler and safer junction and improve the bus travel experience through the area.

Below is a visual representation of Battlefield Rest junction, facing Battlefield Road (East) towards Mount Florida.

The design for this area aims to make it easy, comfortable and safe for people of all ages and abilities to access the local facilities via all modes of transport, create a town centre identity for the area and improve the travel experience for all by creating better crossings, new segregated cycle lanes and designated bus islands.

The design for this area aims to make it easy, comfortable and safe for people of all ages and abilities to access the local facilities via all modes of transport, improve the travel experience for all and ensure there is a safe and easy connection to the cycle lanes of the South City way for local residents travelling to and from Glasgow.
