Campaigners want M8 scrapped and replaced with urban boulevard – news.stv.tv

Campaigners are calling for Scotland’s busiest motorway to be scrapped and replaced with people-friendly spaces.
The activists want to remove the M8 from Glasgow city centre and instead transform it into an urban boulevard to help promote public transport, walking and cycling.
Scott Galloway, Replace the M8 campaigner, described the stretch of motorway as a “concrete desert”.
He told STV News: “There’s nothing accessible about this space, it just feels like a completely sterile environment.
“I’d love to see a green corridor that exists all the way from the river, all the way up to the north of the city.
“That would include boulevardisation, lots of street trees, making it a very accessible and friendly environment for people to use.”
