Estimated two years from initial consultation on a city-wide expansion of exiting segregated cycle lanes to spades in the ground. How can Glasgow do this?

Bikes have outnumbered cars for the first time in a rush hour traffic survey by Cycling Scotland which said the figures "wouldn’t look out of place on a Dutch or Danish street".
The official cycle development body recorded the milestone on the South City Way segregated cycle lanes on Victoria Road, a popular commuting route into Glasgow city centre from the south side

I used the south side segregated lanes to pollokshields and on into Pollok Park on Thursday they are excellent. Many of the roads they are on are super wide anyway so no hassle for the drivers but there is an A hill journo on The Herald who rallies the rosters.

I was in Glasgow yesterday for the Vintage Vehicle Trust open day, and had the chance to use lots of the new and relatively new infrastructure.
Frankly, I think Edinburgh should be absolutely ashamed by how little cycle infra it's managed to build in the last five or ten years.
Glasgow has gone for segregated infra in a big way, and not all the car drivers are happy about it; there are one or two trolls on the Cycling in Glasgow group on FB who say they are cyclists but never have anything good to say about the new stuff, all hangwringing about emergency vehicles and making it harder to access car parks.
I used the East City Way to get to the Chris Hoy velodrome, seg lanes to get to the Clyde path, which took me to Glasgow Green. More segregated lanes took me most of the way to Festival Park. Govan Road doesn't have cycle lanes but it's not a very busy route - but I could have gone the south side of Elder Park for more dedicated infra.
Byres Road's lanes are still being made but the segregated parts they've finished are excellent. They also don't have the surface waviness that the Leith Walk cycle lanes have.
I rode up with Tulyar to the canal at Maryhill, and followed that as far as Applecross Wharf. Garscube Road has good infra, and after diving under Dobbie's Loan, there is more brand new two-way segregation through Cowcaddens, wide enough to drive a car on just about, but bollards help prevent that. The amount of change is incredible.
Loads of Voi bike riders were out in the sunshine, too.

Absolutely.
So next year let’s elect a council that gets it done ;)

I am beginning to see the Glasgow progress through the rejuvenation lens. All of the routes @Arellcat describes can be seen as part of this . Byres Road less so [but down at the Partick End for sure]
CEC has done the same with the trams down to Granton. The windings of Leith Walk are not good BUT it is very mixed use. Forced onto the pavement by the tram lines.
Continuing the rejuvenation theme - it is Princes Street that needs the shop side sorted. The Castle side sort of masks how big a dump it is. George St doesn’t need rejuvenated..
So maybe switching to Princes St will work if we can weaponise Rejuvenation??????
