Comment	* Glasgow Uni is building a massive new campus on the old hospital site at Church Street, so a lot of the new restrictions will make this area less hostile for pedestrians. * New 20mph zone covering all of Byres Road, Church Street, Torness Street, and Highburgh Road as far Hyndland Street. * New cycle lanes all along Byres Road, with proper ‘floating’ bus stops. * Much less parking on Byres Road. No more back-to-back cars on both sides of the road. * The bottom end of Byres Road, closest to Dumbarton Road, will become one-way (towards the Uni). * Church Street will become one-way in the opposite direction (towards Dumbarton Road). * Torness Street is currently a one-way road. It will switch direction and allow driving from Dumbarton Road to Church Street. * The junction of Dumbarton Road and Church Street will get traffic lights with pedestrian crossings on all sides. * A new pedestrian crossing will be installed on Dumbarton Road, just up from Sainsburys. * A new pedestrian crossing will be installed on Church Street, next to the council social work building. * University Place, which was an unenforced dumping ground for cars, becomes a council-enforced Restricted Zone with 8 disabled bays and a loading bay. No parking for anyone else. * University Gardens, which was owned by the University and had no parking restrictions, becomes part of the council-enforced Hillhead Resident Permit / Pay & Display Zone with marked bays. * Ashton Lane becomes fully pedestrianised, with rising bollards for enforcement. * No Entry restriction at the top of Great George Street, prohibiting turns from Hillhead Street. This stops people cutting up Gibson Street as a shortcut to get to Byres Road and forces them to go along Bank Street and Great Western Road. * The existing Hillhead Resident Permit / Pay & Display Zone will be converted into a Restricted Parking Zone, the same as nearby areas like Dowanhill and Partick. This means no yellow lines, and parking in marked bays only. * There won’t be separate Pay & Display Only and Resident Permit Only spaces any more. Permit holders and pay & display users can use any bay. * Residents will be allowed more than one permit, and the cost of permits will be reduced from £170 per year to £85 per year. * The hours of enforcement will be changed. Currently they are Monday - Sunday, 8am-6pm. They will be Monday - Sunday, 8am-10pm. * The maximum stay for Pay & Display users will be reduced from 4 hours to 3 hours.
