Pls support option 3 and suggest removal of motorway and replacement with an multi-modal transport corridor for local traffic and restoration of lost urban grid

Today, ask Transport Scotland to test a long term option for the central M8 that turns the route into an attractive urban street and opens up the land taken up by the motorway to housing, parks and development

Council response backs demolishing M8 bridges through city.
โWe consider the option to โremoveโ the M8 Woodside Viaduct could be consistent with the councilโs position and as such the council is ready to work constructively with Transport Scotland"

Council backs option 3 "remove"!
This is the option that could repair the city and heal the scar. Now we need the best professionals to work with the City and, most importantly, the people of Glasgow who will use the route, to get it right.

Do you want Transport Scotland to test a scenario where a motorway no longer slices through Glasgow city centre? Ask them to test APPROACH 3 and add a working boulevard/repaired street grid/other creative replacement movement network.
Today is the last day of the consultation.

The city centre stretch of the M8 takes up 360,000m2. That's roughly 50 city centre blocks of space, or equivalent to the city centre of Inverness.

We simply want Transport Scotland to thoroughly test the remove viaduct option PLUS model a C21st best practice corridor . It's the cheapest, it could open up development land, reconnect communities. Let's see if it works like it does elsewhere.

Actually, numerous cities around the world are replacing 1960s style motorways with different kinds of corridors. We could have a non-motorway boulevard on the ground with normal urban junctions. It would take upess space allowing for development plots. There are many options.

Attractive livable cities are the engines of the global economy in the 21st Century. Removal of the 1960s, ugly motorway and replacement with an attractive high capacity multi-modal transport corridor, on a smaller footprint surrounded with development parcels will boost econ.
I know that morons like you want to destroy industry and commerce in Scotland and ensure that we have no chance of an economic recovery, so that you can pay people to stay at home and do nothing. Do you realise the economic, social and moral consequences of your stupidity?
