| Comment | Unfortunately I agree with this.
I do think the long term aim should be to downgrade, and then possibly even remove the city section of the M8 (from Kingston through to roughly Provan). Use the M74 as the main "through corridor" for East-West traffic.
The M8 could be boulevardised at first, with greenery/parks bounded by surface streets, to make it something along the lines of the Wallanlagan park which circles the core of Frankfurt, or if we had even grander aspirations something like the Ringstrasse in Vienna.
The Mitchell would make for a nice centerpiece for a city ring park.
Realistically though, I agree, this might mean we need to revisit the unbuilt outer ring roads (the unbuilt Kelvindale expressway, and a Paisley-East Kilbride motorway) to compensate. |
