| Comment | I know 9 mil sounds like a lot, and at the current moment it probably sounds like a bad use of money to a lot of people.
But it's not all that much in the grand scheme when it comes to a project of that scale. You're talking the full redesign of a major road that also in many ways serves as a business district of its own. Everything that goes with reconstructing and redesigning 1km of busy roadway to make it a more attractive place to spend time and also simply an easier place to navigate on foot or by bike. The project ties into wider plans for other roads and routes, including Queen Margaret Dr and Bisland Dr to the north, and the walking & cycling routes along Ferry Rd and the new bridge being built to Govan, to create an arcing corridor that arguably better connects places like Govan, Maryhill and Ruchill to the heart of the West End. Seems well worth it. |
