| Comment | Don't really see the benefit of the cycle path idea with the South City Way on its way to begin finished soon. Eventually (I know...) Stockwell street, Saltmarket, and George Street will have cycle paths too. So there should be segregated cycle routes from Govanhill to Dennieston (maybe in like 5-10 years?).
You're right about the flats at Blackfriars car park. Absolute short sighted planning.
But even if the high street spur can't happen, linking south city rail traffic to Queen Street, the union line could still be used for trains (or maybe even light rail) going between the southside and the east end (via Bridge Street subway, new Gorbals stations, and Glasgow Cross).
Defo think turning this into a walkway would be a bad idea. Reused as a railway/light-rail line, it potentially could link together loads of other infrastructure (the subway system, the Cathcart circle line, the Argyle line, plus providing new stations in the Gorbals and Trongate). |
