Proposals for the 300 metre long riverfront includes a cycle route, walkway, feature lighting, seating, trees and shrubs.
The former waterfront path at the Windmillcroft Quay on the south side of the river had to close eight years ago for safety reasons as the wall was deteriorating.
The whole project is estimated to cost about £18 million and it would see the new quay wall being built out on the riverbed about 13 metres from the existing one.The site sits next to 278 private homes. The public path at Windmillcroft Quay was blocked off in 2014 leaving no access for walkers or cyclists between Tradeston and Springfield Quay.A design statement submitted as part of aapplication from the council said: “The project involves a comprehensive programme of structural works to form a new quay wall. This shall involve building out the existing frontage into the riverbed and creating a wider land area at the quayside.
Public art in the form of a dry river feature, which would reuse materials from the existing quay wall, has also been proposed. Money for the scheme is set to come from City Deal funding with a contribution also from the property owners according to the design statement. Part of the agreement is that the council carries out the project.
