| Comment | It's been achieved in many other European cities already with great success, rejuvenating their urban cores.
You're right that plans need to mitigate for those that need continued access by private car, but the best plans do.
Most cities that have significantly reduced the presence of cars in their cores have done it through a combination of:
* Car park provision all around the edge of the zone (Glasgow plans to do this)
* Access *into* the core along retained boulevard style access roads (Glasgow seems largely to be planning for this), while using modal filters to direct unnecessary through traffic elsewhere.
* Last mile delivery hubs, where large HGVs move goods onto smaller light vehicles for delivery inside the urban core (Glasgow has three of these planned)
* Better cycling infrastructure (this is planned for here)
* Better public transport (Glasgow has some things in the works) |
