¾ÅÐãÖ±²¥ is looking for views on proposed designs to help identify the best options for the new active travel route.
Local communities can share their views in an online survey . There is also an opportunity to find out more information at a drop-in event on Thursday 9th February, Lochgilphead Baptist Church, 3.30-7.30pm.
The aim of the active travel route is to:
- Increase the number of people travelling actively more often for everyday journeys through a Sustrans supported concept design
- Improve community links between Lochgilphead and Ardrishaig
- Enhance public awareness of safety for all cyclists traveling between Lochgilphead and the Crinan Canal
- Increase the numbers of people cycling, walking and wheeling to school
- Create a better gateway environment into Lochgilphead
Councillor Andrew Kain, Policy Lead for Roads and Transport, said: “Delivering active travel routes which offer our communities better opportunities for safe cycling and walking is a key element of our commitment to creating a healthy, climate friendly environment in ¾ÅÐãÖ±²¥ and Bute.
“I would encourage as many people as possible to offer their views on these proposals which will further support our efforts to lower our carbon footprint and provide a safe alternative to car travel.â€
¾ÅÐãÖ±²¥ has appointed consultants Stantec to identify the best option for an active travel route.
The project is funded by the Scottish Government’s Places for Everyone programme, administered by Sustrans.
