| Comment | One of the big problems that doesn't seem to be addressed is the city centre.
I can cycle in from the North West of the city, now, by multiple different routes, to get to work. All lovely and segregated options, easy and safe.
But as soon as I get past the M8 and hit Cowcaddens, I'm thrown straight into 4 lanes of traffic which - even as an experienced and confident cyclist - makes me feel incredibly unsafe, especially at busy times, with buses and bellends flying by mere inches from my elbow.
In all these plans I see lots of improvements made in connecting different areas to the city centre, but nothing that I can see that deals with the city centre itself. And surely that should be the critical core of the plans? People aren't going to want to commute by bike when, despite 95% of their journey being safe, the last 5% remains deadly. |
