Port Dundas Basin, seen from the top of the steps to the west of Sighthill Circus. Don't be fooled into thinking this is the ramped route to avoid the steps. That diverged back at #192466, and can be seen joining the canalside from the … [more]
The view from the northern end of the Sighthill Bridge, looking along the paths to Port Dundas Basin.
Heading west from the Sighthill Bridge, along the paths to Port Dundas Basin. The path diverging to the left is step-free to the canalside.
The connection from Sighthill Circus to the Sighthill Bridge features steps and a double hairpin ramp.
Already indiscriminate parking is occurring on the roads next to the Sighthill Community Campus car park, blocking the crossing points for pedestrians on Sighthill Avenue.
The cycleway alongside Sighthill Avenue is open as far as Fountainwell Gardens. Already indiscriminate parking is occurring on the roads next to the car park, blocking the crossing points.
The path from Port Dundas Basin approaching Pinkston Road. The only dropped kerbs are at the crossing at the pedestrian refuge.
The path from Pinkston Road approaching Port Dundas Basin. The path to the right is the step-free route to the canal.
The path from Port Dundas Basin leads around the corner of the basin and heads over to Pinkston Road. There is another step-free route (out of shot to the right) which leads to the Sighthill Bridge.
Glasgow's newest cycle path - a gentler version of San Francisco's Lombard Street. But where am I? https://t.co/yTk1vweJZ6 Location not known exactly yet! Too new to be found on Google Lens: … [more]
The path around the side of the Sighthill redevelopment approaching Pinkston Road. I believe this path will form parts of the cycle routes from Cumbernauld and Springburn to the city centre.
The main path around the side of the Sighthill redevelopment. I believe this is to become part of the cycle routes from Cumbernauld and Springburn to the city centre.
An inexplicable hairpin bend feature on the path around the side of the Sighthill site redevelopment. I believe this is to be the replacement cycle route between the city centre and Springburn.
Incorrect corduroy 'hazard' tactile paving used on Sighthill Avenue, in contrast to the correct 'cycleway' paving mostly used on Pinkston Road. This is one of the main flagship routes in Sighthill.
The end of the Sighthill Avenue cycleway approaching Springburn Road. Don't be tempted to go through the archway, since there is a step on the other side!
Incorrect corduroy 'hazard' tactile paving used on Sighthill Avenue, in contrast to the correct 'cycleway' paving mostly used on Pinkston Road. This is one of the main flagship routes in Sighthill.

A new (not even open) cycleway alongside Pinkston Road, approaching its end before the railway bridge.
Active travel routes into and around Sighthill still closed. This is the path between Craighall Road and Sighthill, alongside the motorway.
Active travel routes into and around Sighthill still closed. This is at Port Dundas Basin. Opened 2023, see #192415.
I don't think the replacement Sighthill Bridge will be opening in "the early months of 2022". https://www.glasgow.gov.uk/index.aspx?articleid=27331
Sighthill regeneration continues. From the width of this path, and the toucan crossings at the junction, it appears it may be a shared-use path in place of the Glasgow to Cumbernauld cycle route path that used to be here.
Another view of #172734, showing the narrow footway between the toucan crossing and the boundary fence.
Still plenty to do to connect up the replacement bridge across the M8 motorway between Townhead and Sighthill.
Not a promising look for the Sighthill "cycling village". A toucan crossing with not even a bike's length between the kerb and the fence at the back of the footway. See also #172813.
A Nextbike docking station at Keppochhill Road, with the St Rollox Drive cycle track in the background.
A small route sign almost unreadable due to stickers (and appears not to mention the one route where there is a cycle facility), and a fallen diversion sign blocking the gutter. Providing a path in the park to connect to the segregated … [more]
The cycle track alongside Fountainwell Road ends here, with some Guidance Path tactile paving. It looks suspiciously like it will go no further on this side, and it crosses over to a new path on the other side of what can be quite a busy … [more]
Fountainwell Road is presently closed in Sighthill, so St Rollox Drive is temporarily not a through road. The road on the right has been opened, and is presently the sole road access to the residential area of Sighthill.
Fountainwell Road is presently closed in Sighthill, so St Rollox Drive is temporarily not a through road.
Ambiguous diversion sign for pedestrians and cyclists (the closed "footway" is the path from Craighall Road to Pinkston Road, alongside the motorway), and fancy electronic sign for motorists.
The path between Craighall Road and Pinkston Road is now closed for construction work. This path leads to #165573.
The bridge between North Wallace Street and Sighthill is being replaced, and diversions have been signed to Craighall Road and Pinkston Road.
"Cyclists Dismount And Use Footway" - the Sighthill diversion route appears to have been signed along the footway of various roads, none of which are actually signed as being shared use, so why dismount here?
The path alongside the motorway, between Pinkston Road and Craighall Road, has been closed. In the original publicity material it was stated that "constant access" would be maintained along this path, although given the nature of the work … [more]
A sign for the diversion due to the closure of the path between Pinkston Road and Craighall Road. There are no longer signs displayed for the diversion between Pinkston Road and Charles Street.
The path between Pinkston Road and Craighall Road has been closed, and the footbridge across the motorway to North Wallace Street has been removed. Diversion signs are in place along Baird Street and Dobbie's Loan. However, the diversion … [more]
No turns between the new St Rollox Drive and Keppochhill Drive. There is also no connection from the cycleway to Keppochhill Drive industrial estate. Must U-turn at the Keppochhill Road junction crossing.
The new road layout at the junction of Fountainwell Road and St Rollox Drive does not include a connection to the new cycleway. The speed of some of the traffic on the new road seemed quite high.
A 'No Cycling' sign on the path that now leads to the cycleway adjacent to St Rollox Drive. UPDATE 2021: The path has now been rebuilt, see #167693.
The new cycleway along St Rollox Drive leads onto this footway which has not been upgraded. It is obstructed ahead by utilities work and the only way onto the road is across the grass. There's also a 'No Cycling' sign on the back of the … [more]
The junction of Fountainwell Road and St Rollox Drive, seen from the old footpath along the edge of Sighthill Cemetery. The start of the cycleway can be seen, and this is the only access. UPDATE 2021: The cycle path has now been extended, … [more]
Effectively the end of the new cycleway alongside St Rollox Drive, with no way back onto the road and only a connection to the old footpath. UPDATE 2021: The path has now been extended, see #170148.
The new cycleway alongside St Rollox Drive, the new road along the northern edge of the Sighthill redevelopment.
The start of the cycle track alongside St Rollox Drive, the new road connecting Keppochhill Road and Springburn Road at the Sighthill redevelopment. The only way onto the cycleway is to use the dropped kerbs at the Keppochhill Road … [more]
A new toucan crossing at the junction of Keppochhill Road, Carlisle Street and St Rollox Drive, the new road across the northern edge of the Sighthill redevelopment.
This fencing has been obstructing the access to the Sighthill motorway foot and cycle bridge for some time, even though the bridge is for now still open. The fencing appears to be being used to create nothing more than a contractor's … [more]
Reinstated access (possibly temporary) between the Springburn Expressway footbridge and Pinkston Drive, during the Sighthill redevelopment. Old and new buildings can be seen to the left. UPDATE 2020: The path is now shut - see #112923.
Protected signs on path closed for Sighthill's redevelopment (the original Glasgow-Cumbernauld cycle route), and a reopened path to Baird Street.
The barriers on the Springburn Expressway footbridge remain in place. Sighthill seen during redevelopment, with some old and new buildings visible, and off to the right, reinstated access from the footbridge to Pinkston Drive.
Despite the emphasis on 'footpath' and 'pedestrians' on the signs, the only other person I saw on this path was also on a bike. Could do with a dropped kerb here.
Dismantled cycleway in Sighthill redevelopment. This will be replaced by a zig-zag path and stairs straight up the hillside.
