| Comment | > Some of the intermediate expressways would help too, but it's too late to even think about building them. No way will the majority of residents approve of Pollokshaws road becoming an expressway, for example, as much as the route sorely needs it.
To be fair, the South Link motorway plan always looked like the most mental of all the unbuilt motorways to me (with the exception perhaps of the east flank of the ring road that would've torn through Glasgow Green, Saltmarket & High Street).
It's easy for me to say, just build the route fully that cuts through the East End, when I don't live there. There would probably be huge opposition if it went ahead. Indications are that the council has properly binned the idea of completing the East End Regeneration Route due to Green Party opposition. Fair enough, maybe.
My personal opinion is though, that there'd be a big difference between upgrading and completing a route that is already sorta there (the EERR), than thinking of building the south link, with would bulldoze through untouched areas like Strathbungo, Crossmyloof, and even Mosspark. |
