A total of 270km of cycle paths are to be installed in Glasgow
A fresh plea has been issued to Glasgow’s convenor for climate to consider blind and partially sighted people as the council implements its city wide cycling network.
The scheme will also help to develop a sustainable transport system for Glasgow as well as reducing the number of car kilometres travelled by 2030 by 30 percent as part of the council's net zero carbon emissions target.It is hoped this will have a positive impact overall on health, wellbeing and the economy.
Councillor Ahmed said: “I have a request for the convenor that if he could also consider the people who are partially sighted and blind and also those who have some sort of disability. So far there are five key “delivery phases” which are part of the cycling city network and add to the routes which are already under construction.
