(Mount Florida) (Traffic Regulation) Order 201 Report
The Glasgow City Council (Mount Florida) (Traffic Regulation) Order 201_ Report The Mount Florida area has been identified as being negatively affected by the current parking and loading arrangements. Glasgow City Council has been working closely with the local community council to improve the existing parking restrictions in the area. The specific objective was to assist the local community by reducing the parking restrictions on Cathcart Road and to facilitate business activities allowing all vehicle types to utilize the designated loading areas. In addition to the above, the Council are taking the opportunity to improve parking practices and road safety within the adjoining residential areas. This includes ensuring crossing points are accessible, sightlines at junctions are sufficient and generally parking practices are safe and not obstructive. Each element of the proposals is detailed below:- No waiting at any time, no loading or unloading at any time These restrictions are proposed at locations where waiting and loading is deemed unsafe in terms of road safety or pedestrian safety or could negatively affect traffic flow or manoeuvres. No waiting at any time, no loading or unloading at any time, except taxis This restriction relates to the existing taxi rank on Carmunnock Road, north of Letherby Drive. The legislation which covers this taxi rank is covered within an older traffic regulation order therefore it has been consolidated into these proposals, however, there will be no changes to the restrictions of this taxi rank. No waiting at any time These restrictions are proposed where waiting is deemed undesirable in terms of road safety or pedestrian safety, however loading or unloading could occur at these locations by any class of vehicle. -
Local Resident Impact; Traffic Assessment Is Insufficient
Address redacted Glasgow City Council / Glasgow Life PO Box 15175, Glasgow, G4 9LP Saturday, 4th July 2020 Dear Sir or Madam, Re. Planning application 20/01352/FUL I am writing to record my objection to the proposal, in its current form, for the Active Travel Management Plan in Pollok Country Park. Whilst I support - in principle - the stated objectives and many of the elements of the project to reduce the presence of cars within the centre of Pollok Country Park, and to prioritise active travel. Its core proposal to remove traffic from the core of the park is excellent. However it has significant shortcomings in the high-level response to the challenge in the project framing. It is missing key detail with regards its impact on local residents and active travel users in the immediate vicinity. The traffic analysis in particular takes an insufficiently wide scope, and does not explore relevant options or considerations. The plan therefore requires detailed reconsideration, with additional mitigations or rework, and also to take into account Coronavirus mitigations currently being put in place in the affected vicinity (Haggs Road), references below. Local resident impact; Traffic assessment is insufficient The Shawmoss/Haggs junction is poorly considered, with inadequate modelling of the wider contexts: ● The proposed no-right turn into Shawmoss Road (7.2.14, “Right from Haggs Road south to Shawmoss Road”, see also figure 7.3) significantly disregards the needs and impacts on residents in the Shawmoss, Herries Road, Crossmyloof vicinity. ● It risks causing car traffic to ignore road instructions; or to bypass the junction and cut against the current one-way in Herries Road; substantially increase traffic on minor road Whins Road; or an extensive diversion via St Andrews Drive+Herries Road, or via Crossmyloof. -

Scottish Highlands by Rail

One could explore this fabled land in many ways, but surely the best would be on a storied train – the Edwardian-style Royal Scotsman, meticulously renovated to luxurious standards. Our time aboard the train is bookended with pre- and post-rail interludes in the historic yet modern cities of Glasgow and Edinburgh, with insightful lectures from Travel/Study veteran faculty leader Scott Pearson throughout.
