| Comment | Don't have figures for you, but can provide anecdotal evidence as a taxi driver. Kelvin Way is a seriously important arterial route for cars. It provides connection beyond GWR. Finnieston/Yorkhill to Maryhill via Kelvin way and Belmont Street as a quick example. Western side of Woodlands to Finnieston/Yorkhill/Partick Bridge as another. Very direct routes which would become a much longer route by both time and distance by removing the direct north/south link that Kelvin Way provides.
Kelvin way is one of those roads that I use multiple times per shift. Major arterial route that would be sorely missed. People dismiss it's importance for car journeys because it's pretty with trees.
We would be far better off removing the parking bays on Kelvin way and using that space to create cycle lanes than we would be shutting the road to cars completely. |
