The masterplan seeks to re-orientate Glasgow’s High Street as the city’s cultural axis. A museum quarter and new public park will be become the centre of the Masterplan.
This area will be created around a revealed Molindinar burn, returning that area to its original topography. The Molindinar burn has great cultural significance as the city was originally formed along its course. The new cultural area will connect Glasgow Green to the Necropolis in the north and regenerate the Barras market to the south.
Fragment of walls remain in the area from the former Goods Yard. These will be retained and used in the Masterplan. The proposed urban grain re-introduces a “herring-bone” structure to Glasgow’s High Street. This strip typology references the wall fragments surrounding and creates smaller streets typical of a High Street, giving the area a distinct character and sense of place.
Small canals will channel all surface water into the Molindinar burn and further down to the River Clyde. Two former Hydraulic Pumping Stations will be re-introduced at either end of the park area on the burn, this will power all lighting throughout the park and become entrance markers from the East and West.

Those have always been there - it's a wee bit of a climb or jump down, but not too bad.

there is what appears to be the route of another burn 700m+ east of Easthall Primary
it looks like it’s sourced from Craigend Wood north of St Benedict’s Church and runs to Easterhouse Station
