| Comment | So much cynicism / pessimism in this thread.
The council is planning to turn neighbourhoods across the city into much more pleasant places, with increased space for outdoor leisure/hospitality and easier access to safe cycling routes. It will be absolutely transformational for the city.
The city was entirely overhauled from the ground up in the 50s-70s to entirely suit the use of single occupancy vehicles. You can see it all around our urban fabric. From the large scale (motorways cutting through the city itself and neighbourhoods) to the small (anti pedestrian road junctions, tiny pavements at expense of road space, barely any street trees, the loss of trams, cars being parked on almost every single inch of public space).
Just because we've become used to it doesn't mean it has to be this way. |
