16 Our Transport Plan to Keep Glasgow Moving

17 What is the Games Route Network (GRN)? The Games Route Network is a crucial part of any major multisport event. It ensures athletes and officials are able to get to venues within a reasonable and, more importantly, reliable time and it minimises conflict between Games transport and other city travel. It doesn t mean swathes of road closures, or mile upon mile of Games Lanes. The GRN is to help Keep Glasgow Moving.

18 What is the Games Route Network (GRN)? A 4.5 million investment to Keep Glasgow Moving Covers around 30km, out and back Just 13.5% will make use of dedicated lanes for Games travel When will it be in place? Work is underway and will continue into June Will be fully operational from 21 July

19 Core Route GRN

21 What is Local Area Traffic Management and Parking (LATM&P)? Traffic management to protect the residents and businesses around competition venues (like on event days around the football stadiums) Not like London 2012 measures. Less access control. Key objectives: Protect residents and businesses from informal spectator parking Ensure Games related traffic can access the venues

Could you pre order non perishables, could you reduce business travel?
