| Comment | Ok. I just don't really get this at all, sorry. As you say, opinions will differ, but Glasgow was overhauled through the late 20th century to suit the needs of motor traffic - at the cost of connecting neighbourhoods, and even facilitating safe walking/cycling on our roads.
The gains made so far for safe cycling infrastructure have been absolutely tiny. Loads more needs to be done, as it's just simply not safe (or viable) for lots of people to consider cycling as a travel/commute option across Glasgow at the moment.
The way I see it, it's about rebalancing.
At for the last 50 years or more, the urban space has been overcatered to motortraffic. We're seeing that rebalancing happen, with that space fairly given over to provide safe, pleasant space for waking, cycling, and even sitting (outside cafes, restaurants) etc. Cycling and walking can benefit at the same time, it doesn't have to be one or the other. |
