Encouraging more people to walk, wheel and cycle with improved links between local communities are just some of the aims behind a proposed new travel route between Lochgilphead’s Front Green and the Crinan Canal.
The route will provide a safe and direct travel link between Ardrishaig, the Canal, and Lochgilphead.
Earlier in the year, Argyll and Bute Council launched a consultation asking people on their views on proposed designs to help identify the best options for the new route. The concept designs are now available and the council is asking again for public feedback via an online survey and a drop-in event.

Councillor Andrew Kain, Policy Lead for Roads and Transport, said: “The final proposed designs are another step closer to offering communities improved opportunities for safe cycling and walking. It is also another key element of our commitment to creating a healthy, climate friendly Argyll and Bute.
The proposed route offers a safe alternative to car travel and takes in spectacular scenery, we’re so lucky to have on our doorstep.”
The project is funded by the Places for Everyone programme, administered by Sustrans.
