| Comment | Hmm got 2 thoughts:
The regeneration of empty lots (or lack of) is a separate issue from the avenues project. Think we should be happy the avenues are being spread out where they are, Stockwell Street included. The King Street car park is gonna be filled in eventually, I think the hold up is that the east side has been reserved for a possible new small city centre terminal train station, doing something of the job the old St Enoch station did. It was talked about in the Scottish government's transport project review in 2007, but didn't get final approval. My guess is that the upcoming review next spring will decide if it is to happen or not. Besides that, the council invited concepts of what could be done with it recently as a back up - here's one example: https://www.holmesmiller.com/blog/2019/6/27/union-yards-glasgow.
Second point - this avenue's quite disappointing really. The bike lane stops half way down it, and the lower half of Stockwell Street is barely changed. (It might be that the lower half is barely improved because it's next to two blocks which are gonna be fundamentally redesigned though). |
