  • Local Resident Impact; Traffic Assessment Is Insufficient

    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.
