| Comment | Beyond helping people that live in the local area to be able to cycle safely, the specific route they're complaining about is also one part of a very long planned safe cycling route that will arch across the north west & north east of the city, connecting dozens of neighbourhoods along the way.
Linking basically everything from Balornock in the NE, to Maryhill, Hillhead, all the way down to the new bridge at Partick & Govan. It'll be one of the main orbital cycling routes in the final network plan, connecting to arterial cycle routes that take you into the city centre.
So, when I see this sort of thing it's depressing on two levels: one for the local folk who simply want to get around Wallacewell Road safely by bike for short local trips; but two, if they were to succeed in their protests, it would mean having a huge gap on a vital part of the future network that's meant to serve thousands of people making daily trips across the city. |
