Paisley's Causeyside Street regeneration plans addressed by Renfrewshire Council

dailyrecord.co.uk:

Renfrewshire Council has moved to allay concerns surrounding regeneration plans for Paisley’s Causeyside Street.The local authority is working on a project which aims to improve active travel and public transport connections in the town centre area.Proposals include a two-way cycle route between Canal Street and Gilmour Street stations, linked into National Cycle Route 7, better access to bus stops, road resurfacing, clearer footways, and junction alterations to enhance pedestrian crossings.Last summer, Councillor Michelle Campbell, convener of the infrastructure, land and environment policy board, said the plans would “modernise” Causeyside Street by providing sustainable transport links that walkers and cyclists would want to use.However, fears were raised in the community during an engagement exercise, but these have now been addressed by the council.Worries were expressed that the blueprint would see a change in the number of lanes for driving on Causeyside Street, in turn sparking increased congestion in the area.Renfrewshire Live, the new free app dedicated to bringing you around the clock breaking news, is now available to download.Powered by the Paisley Daily Express, Renfrewshire Live is your go-to source for news, features and sport with live coverage provided direct to the app, seven days a week.The dedicated team of experienced journalists, responsible for the publication of the award-winning Express, will focus on breaking news, day and night, across Renfrewshire’s towns and villages.There is also a dedicated St Mirren section that will follow every kick of the ball with the Buddies.Available on both Android and Apple.
