East Dunbartonshire Council has announced a number of new public forums aimed at helping to shape the future of the A81 Bears Way.
Forums will be held on 01 and 07 September in Milngavie Town Hall to inform future work on the cycleway, which offers protected space for people of all ages to cycle in safety and comfort.
Phase 1 of the Bears Way - funded by delivery partners Strathclyde Partnership for Transport (SPT) and Sustrans - runs from Burnbrae roundabout to Hillfoot. However, it will not be fully functional until all phases are complete.
The proposed Phase 2 will run from Hillfoot to Kessington and one of the goals is to address issues which have been identified through engagement to date.
Public forums will be held on:
Thursday 1 September, 6pm – 8pm in Milngavie Town Hall
Wednesday 7 September, 7pm – 9pm in Milngavie Town Hall
Three other 'drop-in' information events will be held in the Allander Leisure Centre to complement the public forums.
Drop-in information events will take place on:
Thursday 1 September, noon - 2pm
Saturday 3 September, 11am - 3pm
Wednesday 7 September, noon - 2pm
A Business Forum was held on 18 August and a Design Forum on Thursday 25 August - including invited stakeholders and representative groups.
Councillor Alan Moir, Convener of Development and Regeneration, said: "We look forward to hearing from as many people as possible at the events to help shape the next phase of the A81 Bears Way.
"Whether you're a local resident, cyclist, motorist, pedestrian or regularly use public transport - we want you to get involved and help ensure the project works for everyone.
"Please put the dates in your diary and come along. The public forums will include a presentation, followed by a question and answer session.
"The drop-in events are aimed at providing information rather than gathering views and suggestions - with the forums designed to capture feedback and help guide the way forward."
