A new cycle path planned for one of the southside's busiest roads is set to be transformed with art reflecting the "unique cultural diversity" of the local area.
A number of design pieces are planned for the new cycle route on Victoria Road and two public consultations for The South City Way project are to be held to get the community involved.
The first event will be held between 9:30am and 11:30am today at Locavore followed by another at the Lidl supermarket on Wednesday, April 17 between 2:30pm and 4:30pm.
You'll get to chat and share your ideas with the artists as well as the public arts team.
The £6.5m cycle route project, which will create a 3km segregated pathway between Queen’s Park and the city centre, is on track for completion this year. The final phase of the 3km route will link the junction at the north end of Victoria Bridge, Bridgegate and King Street.
The first of its kind in Scotland, it will bring a host of community, health and business benefits to the densely populated part of the city, with the first phase of works transforming the area around Victoria Road into attractive, pedestrianised public spaces with cycle racks and green space.
Victoria Bridge was recently rated as the fourth most popular point for cyclists travelling to and from the city centre – with over 920 people on average cycling across the bridge on a daily basis.
It’s hoped the new route will encourage still more people to see cycling and walking as a viable travel option.
Southside Central Councillor Soryia Siddique said: "I would encourage the local community to get involved and have their say in the South City Way community consultation and Charette. It is an opportunity to shape the design of the art pieces for Victoria Road, ensuring they reflect the local community and encourage cycling and walking."
