There have been suggestions of a ‘cap’ over the section at Charing Cross but more ambitious longer-term plans are being considered.
He added: “The M8 is a deeply damaging presence impacting on communities, holding back regeneration in those areas.
“We need to address the impact of transport on the wider city region. And rethink the city centre stretch.” The stretch identified, is from the intersection at the Royal Infirmary to the Kingston Bridge over the River Clyde.“Or extend the cap further. We must consider if Glasgow wants or needs a motorway through the heart of the city centre.Glasgow is unusual but not unique in having a motorway running through the city centre and other cities have moved to replace similar infrastructure.
“We need to do serious work on the wider transport impact supporting the economy and we need Transport Scotland to be engaged in that.” “Glasgow was at the vanguard of the motor vehicle infrastructure. As a city transport solution, it is a model we wouldn’t devise today, so why not think of alternatives?”
