Glasgow City Council has approved just over £1.268million IPG12
(developers' contribution) funding for the delivery and ongoing
maintenance of new public realm in Cadogan Street, on the west side
of Glasgow city centre, in the IFSD.
The investment in the public realm will complete an attractive,
high-quality, well-functioning environment in this part of the IFSD
and is expected to increase the marketability of the Anderston
Centre - owned by Glasgow City Council - on the street. The
works will also encourage active travel for pedestrians.
Work on the delivery of this public realm - which includes new
granite kerbs, maximum-width pavements, new seating, greening, the
decluttering of redundant street furniture and dropped kerbs - will
begin in Autumn 2020, with completion expected in Summer 2021.
Councillor Kenny McLean, City Convener for Housing,
Neighbourhoods and Public Realm at Glasgow City Council, said: The
creation of this new high quality public realm will attract
investment and jobs to Cadogan Street itself, as well as the wider
district. In addition, the street will be greener, better
connected to the surrounding area, more sustainable and able to
adapt to current and future challenges."
The IPG12 contributions are from developments in Glasgow city
centre.
