Forest_Fifer Posted August 17, 2018 Share Posted August 17, 2018 Same with that paved wee shopping centre bit in Milngavie. It used to be nice. It's now all scabby. Charity shops, bookies, auld man boozers and takeaway places. Sounds like most high streets nowadays TBH. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Connolly Posted August 19, 2018 Share Posted August 19, 2018 I'm not sure the Council's map shows the whole city centre 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vikingTON Posted July 3, 2019 Share Posted July 3, 2019 Was passing through Sauchiehall Street for the first time in ages today and was pleasantly surprised by the expansive pedestrian space and even some urban greenery as opposed to the shan, loud, diesel-polluted mess that it used to be on a typical weekday lunchtime. Hopefully it will be the start of many more measures to end the antisocial, selfish and totally unnecessary practice of running a private car in Glasgow city centre for good. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The building over the motorway is potentially getting sold/knocked down and turned into this over-the-M8 park that was getting discussed. More than a 50% chance of the building being knocked down. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Empty It Posted July 4, 2019 Share Posted July 4, 2019 The people wanting to pedestrianise city centres are office wanks or people that get the train in for a "day out". Try carrying all your tools and equipment to do a job for miles due to shit access to main streets. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If not a pram might be a good idea. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's absolutely no reason why thousands of people should have their lives shortened and degraded by the daily assault of poisonous air pollution just to suit your personal convenience. And of course you can always use the countless park and ride facilities to join said train into the centre. Single-lane access for deliveries, emergency services, cyclists and electric taxis/Ubers etc. should be implemented - everything else should be for pedestrian use. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Golden God Posted July 5, 2019 Share Posted July 5, 2019 Sauciehall Street is an absolute nightmare at the minute, was on the bus a few weeks ago and sat for 5 full minutes 20 yards from the stop between Charing Cross/The Garage cause there was a Lorry on one side and a taxi on the other and no room for the bus/anything that wasn't a tiny car to get by. The idea was decent enough but the execution is terrible so far, reckon they should go a step further and ban anything that's not public transport and deliveries etc for the businesses. Shift the taxis and ubers to Bath Street/side streets would be a good start. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The issue is with people flouting the rules not with the set up. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
