It's all change in Glasgow city centre.
Sauchiehall Street is set to get a £5.6 million makeover with 40 new trees, lighting and the rebuilding of roads and footpaths among other improvements.
Work is set to start in September and be completed by summer 2024, with money coming from the £115 million Avenues programme, funded by the Scottish and UK Governments.It is the second and final Avenues project on Sauchiehall Street, after the pilot scheme focused on the area between Charing Cross and Rose Street.
Council leader Susan Aitken said: “The Avenues programme — the biggest project of its kind in the UK — will not only bring a more attractive environment for everyone in the city centre, but improve connections around the area and encourage more walking, cycling and wheeling. The report added the reconstruction of footways and carriageways will create “high quality public realm” including “new kerbing, traffic signals, street trees, rain gardens and street lighting.”
