Glasgow City Council has announced that a traffic ban is to be put in place from this weekend on Kelvin Way to support social distancing amid the coronavirus crisis.
The busy west end street will be closed to traffic from Saturday (May 2) to create space to and through Kelvingrove Park.
The Council has also confirmed that a new cycle lane is to be created 'ASAP' on Clyde Street/Broomielaw to reduce pressure along the riverside area.
Both temporary interventions were announced earlier today by Councillor Anna Richardson, City Convener for Sustainability & Carbon Reduction.
She tweeted: "Our first two Glasgow City Council temporary interventions are nearly ready to go. 1. Kelvin Way will be closed to traffic from Saturday to create space to and through Kelvingrove park. 2. A new cycle lane on Clyde St/Broomielaw ASAP to reduce pressure along riverside."
Councillor Richardson also confirmed that the Council intend to implement measures to increase physical distancing at high demand locations in the city (eg outside shops).
Alongside plans to make cycling a safer transport option, especially once lockdown eases.
