| Comment | I mean, the lack of access you talk about is related only to car access.
You can walk and and cycle, or even take a taxi or bus along Ingram Street no problem. There's an odd presumption in the western world that everybody needs access to a car. It's not just odd to be honest, it's dangerous, and led us in large part to the climate crisis we're in now.
The connectivity commission made the excellent point in it's report that Glasgow city centre car parks are predominantly only at 50% capacity. They have plenty of capacity to handle all current on-street traffic across the city centre between the M8 and high street.
The changes that are coming will likely mean people have to walk a little bit more to reach their vehicles. A little bit. But that's not the end of the world.
It's honestly so bizarre that people feel they have a right to park their private property on a public space. In a city centre, it's even less understandable, as this ought to be the most public of spaces. |
