Joel C scottishconstructionnow.com/articles/techn… Perhaps being (overly) optimistic, I suppose there might still be a very short window for the exact 'permanent solution to be implemented' to be determined. Replace The M8 New Glasgow Society

Transport Scotland need to consult with Glasgow Council before agreeing a 'permanent solution'. The city has different agreed ideas. We need real public engagement on what Glasgow and Scotland want this part of our biggest city to look like. Paul Sweeney Angus Millar

Trams can completely transform cities for the better. Here is a before and after the tram arrived in Odense, Denmark. Huge amounts of new homes were built, alongside the route, the busy road was narrowed and tunneled, and the streets pedestrianised and returned to people.

"the research showed the best strategy was to keep as many trees alive as possible to allow their offspring to evolve. Felling and destroying infected trees would mean important genetic variability was lost." theguardian.com/environment/20…
