ELLIOT STREET 1 ELDERLIE STREET 2 Trees will be used to beautify the streets and more importantly, define appropriate space for bicyclists and pedestrians. MORRISON STREET 3 Some streets in the City Centre leading to the M8 are strictly vehicular, from buidling to building. Streets like Morrison street will be made complete and safe for pedestrians, possible because of the connections to the new Anderston Parade rather than the M8. SAINT VINCENT ST JUNCTION 4 Two lanes flanking the Anderston Parade Boulevard will surface from the tunnel, serving as the Western flank’s main junction with the City. THE CLYDESIDE BOULEVARD 5 The former expressway will be converted into a boulevard. In addition to handling the through traffic from the Expressway (will retain its form outside the City), the boulevard has local access roads, bicycle lanes and pedestrian space. REFERENCE MAP
