“Glasgow is the only city in Europe with a motorway cutting through its centre.”
A section of the M8 motorway that runs through the centre of Glasgow could eventually be downgraded to a 'boulevard', as councillors agreed to look at reducing the impact the motorway has on the city
They want to talk to the Scottish Government over a range of actions as the M8 is owned and controlled by Transport Scotland. Referring to the recent climate IPCC report, She said: “We’ve got just seven years to meet our own ambitious target of a 30 to 40 per cent reduction in car kilometres by 2030, yet despite best efforts, we’re sadly nowhere close. If we’re serious about turning this around, we must look urgently at the M8.”
And SNP councillor Eva Bolander described the M8 as a “monstrosity” and voiced support for proposals to examine downgrading the Clydeside Expressway as a potential “test case.” And Councillor Chris Cunningham, SNP, pointed out Glasogw has “one of the lowest car ownership levels in Europe.”Stressing the importance in involving Glasgow residents in any decisions, councillor Matt Kerr, Labour said: “We need to take people with us.”
