Replace The M8 (@replacethem8) 's Twitter Profile Photo

1/2 It's great to hear the Glasgow administration is supportive! We have seen the progressive work the council has done. However the Hollywood response to our petition calling for a study bounced the issue back to Glasgow

If you’re tired of the centre of our city being a noisy, ugly public health disaster, please email your councillor and ask them to vote in favour of this motion. It could very well be the first step to replacing the M8! Find your councillor here: glasgow.gov.uk/councillorsand…

Tradeston could be a spectacular, historic, city centre quarter... If only it wasn't dedicated to being a huge on and off ramp for the M8 and M74.

Imagine if Glasgow had a purpose-built, riverside, amphitheatre, where we could all share in the magic that is music, and community. Imagine filling it in, and demolishing it... Pic: Glasgow Green

Today it remains at the junction of Ingram and Albion Streets, a reminder of what can be done when there's a will to conserve rather than demolish.

How replacing the M8 could rebuild Glasgow's economy *and* empower the city's civic sphere. My evidence to the Scottish Parliament Petitions Committee now published

I would take this as a replacement for the brutalist Sauchiehall Centre of 1974 which replaced two department stores, blighting Bath Street & Sauchiehall Street to this day. But the building below would fit so well on Glasgow's grid. That's why we need a proper city design code!

Let's ask Glasgow Council to be even more ambitious with this transport plan. If we ask for transformational change to the Motorway route, the Scottish Government is more likely to make it happen.

Regarding the M8 in Glasgow - Kraków has a park surrounding its old town. There's no reason why Glasgow couldn't replicate something like this where the M8 currently is. #replacetheM8

No cars at all on West George Street at 11am. They should tear the road up. Or does that logic only apply to bike lanes?

Sure, that's easy, see photo below. Only two quarters since the war began where US aid has been higher than Europe's (July/Sept 22 and 24). The European contribution is magnitudes higher.
