Wick Street Design Project 2019-2020

Wick Street Design

Context + Analysis Wick is a small town in the far north of the Scottish Highlands. The project team worked collaboratively with the local community of Wick between September 2019 and October 2020 to develop a concept design which aimed to create: • Warm, welcoming and more attractive public spaces; • A comfortable and safe environment to walk, wheel and cycle; • Better travel experiences through Wick town centre - particularly when accessing local facilities; • A sense of identity for the town centre in Wick, drawing on local culture and heritage.

Urban analysis commenced early in this process, looking first at the layout of the town, main routes, traffic volumes, accident rates and public transport routes and sunlight exposure.After this was in place, the design team looked at the High Street, which was the focus are of the project.

In the project area, the team conducted public life studies to look at pedestrian movements and activities in the area throughout the day to supplement the regular analyses of the site (land use, sunlight, materiality etc.). This allowed the team an insight into how to better gear the space towards facilitating pedestrian movement as more of a priority throughout the High Street and to locate nodes of activity that could later be capitalised on.

Following this, the team conducted a week of community engagement events aimed at helping us understand the perceived issues that locals face every day on the High Street. From this many useful points were raised, including the perceived danger presented by slippery Caithness stone pavers; the area’s lack of greenery and speeding traffic along what is supposedely a low-traffic zone.

Wick Street Design

Initial Design + Palettes

The initial designs for the High street focused on creating a better delineation of space between pedestrians and vehicles using new improved surfacing materials; evolving the main square to become a more flexible space; adding greenery and a gateway to the east and west entrances to the High Street, and improving the corner junction located at the west of the site.

To aid in conceptualising the design to partners and the public at further engagement events, a palette of materials, planting and street furniture was developed to allow the design team to get a steer from the public as to what they would like to see in the space going forward.

Feedback was taken on from these events and refined further to produce the final proposals. More events were planned to occur prior to development of the final drawings, however COVID19 ended all possibility of doing this in person, so limited engagement was carried out online using the Commonplace engagement tool.

Design iterations for the corner of High street and Bridge Street to explore better crossing options for pedestrians while maintaining apropriate vehicular access

Design iterations for the main square, showing parking and loading layouts

Design palettes were drafted based on creating a range of aesthetic options for the town centre.

They targeted both formal, more heritage-styled street furniture and planting options and more modern, sleek designs to present to the public, with the additional option of a blend between the two.

Some examples of native Scottish planting were identified as planting options alongside more hard-wearing, low-maintenance plants and trees to assist with longevity and drainage within the plans.

Wick Street Design

Final Design

The final iterations of the design were, rather pleasantly, not overly different from the initial iterations of the design but were much more refined overall.

The creation of a pedestrian zone and vehicle zone running eat to west in the space is the most significant piece of work, providing as much pedestrian space as possible, while narrowing the vehicle path to only 3m throughout. The central pedestrian area also features a pocket park to add much needed greenery and soft landscaping to the area.

The gateways at either end of the High street featured tourist information and signage as well as rising bollards and ANPR recognition systems to limit vehicluar access to only those deemed to explicitly require vehicle access to the High Street.

The town square was reorganised to tackle problematic parking and loading by providing a dedicated space for both, thereby allowing the rest of the space to open up to the nearby pubs and seasonal events.

Design recommendations were also put forward for the lanes leading away from High Street to the north and southwest to improve surfacing, lighting and to soften them with planting.

Battlefield Street Design Project 2018-2019

Battlefield Street Design Battlefield is a district of Glasgow which lies to the south of the city centre which takes its name from the Battle of Langside in 1568. The district is home to the New Victoria Hospital and the Langside campus of Clyde College and is connected to the city centre by numerous bus routes and a train service from Mount Florida station.

Glasgow City Council undertook a consultation in late 2017 looking at improvements to the main Battlefield junction. This consultation concluded that there was a need for further developments of this area with greater public involvement.

After a successful Council application to the Street Design Programme 2018 the Street Design team were brought on to engage the community in a four-stage codesign process to support Glasgow City Council in the development of designs for the wider Battlefield area to help connect it to the city centre and to a new housing development on the site of the old Victoria Hospital in Battlefield.

The project would focus particularly on a major junction in the area (Battlefield Rest junction) and the main road running through the area (Battlefield Road/ Grange Road/Langside road) which connected it to the northbound route to the city centre.

Public Life Studies

Following our Desk Based Research where we established the main features of the area and their relationships to each other, we moved into conducting Public Life Studies to help us understand how people were actually using the area on a day-to-day basis.

These studies were based on Gehl Institute research and comprised four studies: a count of pedestrians/cyclists; a demographic study; a movement tracing study and a stationary activity study. The latter two studies were the most helpful in the design process, as they allowed an insight into how people moved around the area and used it. The results can be seen below.

Community Engagement Community engagement was conducted in four stages or “sessions” through the duration of the project, with the idea being to involve the public in creating a design for Battlefield that they are happy with and which works to address the issues that were identified.

Session 1: Discovering what people think of the area and what they would like to see changed.

Session 2: Developing a design with the input of the public, using scale models and hand drawing to mock up initial designs.

Session 3: Presenting a first iteration concept design to the public for feedback and refinement.

Session 4: Presenting the final concept design to the public for further feedback which is then handed off to the council for detailed design.

Primary Issues in Battlefield

On completing the Desk Based Survey, Public Life Studies, engagement events and meetings with partners, five main issues were identified that the project aimed to address. These issues centred around a large amount of vehicle movement and speed, poor connectivity through the area and to the city centre as well as a poor use of available space throughout the area.

These five core problems represented the roots of many other problems in the area, so by trying to address these specific issues through the project it was hoped that this will lead to a more comprehensive improvement in the way the area feels and is used on a daily basis.

1. Under-use of public space

2. Vehicle volume

3. Vehicle speed

Battlefield Street Design

Addressing Primary Issues

In response to the identified primary issues in Battlefield, five objectives were formulated which would form the basis for the development of designs throughout the project area.

These objectives were centered around re-purposing road space to more efficiently manage traffic volumes and speeds while creating functional, attractive and flexible public spaces which would function as activity nodes in the area. Through this, gateways could be created on the periphery of the project area that would welcome visitors to the area and establish a change in road space, indicating to vehicular traffic that a change in behaviour is required to proceed through Battlefield.

Each of these objectives focussed on several specific parts of the project area, all feeding into one another in order to create a holistic overall concept design.

1. Maximising space available for public realm and enhancing connections

3. Reducing vehicle speeds throughout Battlefield

4. Enhancing gateways to Battlefield and making use of transport nodes to connect to Wider Glasgow

2. Reducing vehicle volumes throughout Battlefield

5. Making more sensible use of road space

Battlefield Street Design

Standard Design Details In order to ensure consistent design treatments throughout the area, standard design details were introduced for continuous footway treatments, floating bus stops and cycle path construction throughout the project area. Having a standard design for these features allows them to be modified to fit the space they are allocated, while maintaining a consistent appearance and function to allow people to use them without confusion about how they work.

Battlefield Street Design

The design for Langside road was focused on creating a better link to the City centre for cyclists, pedestrians and public transport and creating a gateway to Battlefield from the North of the project area.

The specific design features included: - 2m unidirectional cycle paths protected by a 0.5m buffer on either side of the carriageway - Removal of on-street parking - Redesigning the 4-way junction to allow cyclist priority - Building out the pavements - Tightening corner radii to prevent speeding vehicles entering/exiting corners at high speed - Redesigning the bus stop outside the hospital to facilitate easier access to transport

Langside Road Designs

Battlefield Rest Junction Designs

The design for the Battlefield Rest Junction was focused on more efficiently moving traffic and opening up the area to better pedestrian and cyclist movement flows.

The specific design features included: - 2m unidirectional cycle paths protected by a 0.5m buffer on either side of the carriageway - Removal of echelon parking in favour of end-on parking - Redesigning the junction to prioritise cycling movements - Closure of two arms of traffic flow - Creating a new, high-quality public space on Battlefield Rest - Redesigning pedestrian crossings to be wider with longer crossing times to facilitate a better pedestrian experience - Moving bus stops away from the junction - Tightening corner radii to reduce vehicle speeds

03 Design Evolution Design Evolution

Lenzie Street Design Project Final Concept design Following the co-design process we decided on a final outline design which met the aims of the project.

A widened and repaved footway on the Kirkintilloch Road parade will make it easier for people to walk along this route, allowing it to better manage the large flows of pedestrians using the village shops. Add to this a realignment of parking, 1.2m mandatory cycle lane, Advance Stop Lines and a narrower carriageway, and cycling is going to be made a much more attractive option for moving around the village.

Physically reinforcing a strong pedestrian desire line across the station forecourt will improve accessibility to the station and bus stop, slow down vehicles and provide safer crossing points for people entering the station forecourt.

These measures, combined with better lighting and greening of the area, as well as the installation of high quality street furniture, will also see a great improvement for the public spaces in the area.

NCN 74

The National Cycle Network is a 14,000 mile web of inter-lacing cycle routes across the United Kingdom, with more than 2,300 miles in Scotland. The addition of the traffic-free section you are on completes Route 74 from Gretna to Uddingston, near Glasgow.

You are only three miles from Coalburn. The children are very proud of their village and would like you to know all about it...

What’s in Coalburn?

Mining Heritage

Coalburn evolved principally due to the exploitation of the rich seams of coal which lay deep beneath the surface, from 1840 until the closure of the last coal pit in 1968.

Reminders of Coalburn's mining history are found all around the village. The bing of the No 9 Colliery is prominent as well as smaller Bellfield Bing.

Annual Gala

The villagers are the life and soul of Coalburn and have lived in close proximity for generations. Coalburn has a strong community spirit and has held an annual gala day since 1937. It is celebrated every first Saturday in July and the streets, homes and even vehicles are decorated. Coalburn's Pipe and Silver bands march through the village with lots of people lining the streets.

1650mm Scale: 1:10 Notes: - All letters are 250mm high (give or take 1 or 2mm), however their widths vary due to CAD being unable to scale them non-uniformly along the X axis.

- The poles rising above the top of the information board have been altered in size from the original drawing measurements, as the orginal measurements would have looked markedly different from the drawing they were on.

- Given that no thickness for the supporting poles was specified, we decided on 50mm.

Coalburn has a history of enjoying sport. Football had its heyday 1920s and 30s. Some years later a number of bowling enthusiasts set out to have their own bowling green in the village and Coalburn Miners Welfare Bowling Club was established.

The Coalburn Leisure Centre, opened in 1998, was the result of a ‘tax’, for the benefit of the community, on some of the coal extracted from the opencast mine

Coalburn’s Pipe Band evolved from a mineworker’s strike in 1894 when men whiled away their time practising on pipe chanters. It is still going strong and regularly competes in championships. Coalburn Silver Band was formed in 1902 and is the last remaining brass band in South Lanarkshire.

Wind power is Scotland's fastest growing renewable energy technology.

Windmills have been in use since 2000 B.C. and were first developed in Persia and China.

Today the most popular use of wind energy is converting it to electrical energy. Most of the modern wind turbines have 3 blades which can reach speeds at the tip of over 320 kph (200 mph).

The children have made it into a bing shape with a bogie line attached to it to reflect their mining heritage. A bing is a spoil bank of excess material removed during mining. The bogie line is a narrow gauge railway along which bogies (coal carts) carried coal to the surface.
