News on Walk Cycle Live Stirling

We have had over 150 comments so far for the two proposed routes.

A common issue that has been raised is the unsafe feeling along busy roads when cycling, therefore another route is chosen.This project will look to improve the feeling of safety on these two routes, and we can achieve this by giving more dedicated space to cycle and footways, and less to vehicles.

Have a look at the images below and think about space:

Causewayhead Road - How much space do the cars actually need? More space for drivers increases traffic speed. What else could we do to create an exemplary cycle and walking route here?

Cowane Street - There's even space for parking either side! We seem to have forgotten about people when building this street. Let's think about taking some of that space back. What could we add or do to improve the feeling of safe cycling and walking? Where are the crossing points? Where is the greenery?

Dumbarton Road - Apparently a "residential" area. Certainly doesn't have that appeal at the moment, and yet leads directly into the city centre. What would you do to make it an attractive walk or cycle into the city? How much space do vehicles need here? The buildings are beautiful but the street not so much. How would you change it?

Airthrey Road - the direct route to the University. And yet, where are the people and cyclists? How can we make this route feel safe for walking, wheeling and cycling?

Please keep posting comments on the heatmap . But please remember that this project is focusing on the two highlighted routes, and will not be able to consider comments outwith these routes.
