Glasgow’s Argyle Street is set to become one way while the Clydeside Expressway could be downgraded and replaced with a tree-lined boulevard under new proposal options.
Also under consideration are a new bridge over the A814 from Little Street to the Riverfront and improving the access area between Argyle Street across the M8 around the Anderston Cross Station. Sauchiehall Street at the M8 would see the redesign of junction to improve the area for pedestrians and connections to cycle paths under proposals.
"The one-way roads will be designed with traffic calming measures using proximity and chicaning the road. In between Sauchiehall Street and Argyle Street some existing through roads will be kept to reduce the limitations on traffic caused by the one-way system.” Suggesting an alternative it said: “As part of a commitment to reducing vehicle journeys by 30 per cent across the city, the expressway could be re-imagined as a city boulevard, that is more integrated into the context within which it is located. This would encourage less car journeys, whilst recognising a need for continued vehicular traffic into and out of the city.”
He added: “It’s still very much early days in this process and I’m looking forward to the next phase of local engagement which will flesh out early ideas and identify what projects the community might like to see taken forward as priorities. That can then form the basis of future plans and funding bids to support local neighbourhood improvements.”
Do they want to distroy this city completely. The public transport system in Glasgow is NOT good enough. Yet they wish to push people away from the city not making it easier but harder to get into. I agree with greenery don't get me wrong
Is this the same council that are considering selling and leasing back their historic buildings because they are skint, yet have money to ruin commuters lives by tearing up the expressway? Absolutely mental.
GCC under SusaninLangside is managing to destroy the city, better than Hitler did. Expressway into a boulevard, rainforests, Avenues. Unless you provide a clean, cheap reliable public transport system - shops, eating places and pubs will vacate the city centre.
‘Cafes and bars’, Sauchiehall Street and Argyll street? Have you been there in the evening ? Sauchiehall street is like an extension of a bad students union, filthy with drunks everywhere. Argyll street is horrific full stop ! Another laughable plan!
Downgrade the expressway 😂😂😂
Utter fu(King nonsense.
