A city-wide £250,000 pilot scheme to test the suitability of secure on-street cycle parking in 50 locations should launch this summer, Glasgow Live reports.
Glasgow City Council is reportedly in the process of carrying out a feasibility study ahead of the launch, which is expected to be completed by the end of next month, and hopes the scheme will encourage more people in the city to cycle.
The ongoing study will outline recommendations on financing, installing and managing on-street cycle parking infrastructure. The report to councillors states this will provide a ‘cost effective, secure and accessible system, which can be implemented across the city’.
