The local authority is considering the move after the square was closed to traffic for the European Championships.

A consultation process will be held on the proposal.

Pedestrianising the square could have a 
significant effect on businesses.

George Square is one of the most prominent public spaces in Scotland and sits next to Queen Street railway station.
