Smashed through one of the unhealthiest cities in Europe, where most people don't own cars, in defiance of the findings of the public inquiry, in the full knowledge that it would poison the air. Those are the "progressive" values of Scotland's two self-styled "social democratic" parties. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=16449#post-221168 Fri, 27 May 2016 11:54:12 +0000 chdot 221168@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>"</p> <p>Patrick Harvie: Transport policy is not about the environment - it's about public health </p> <p>...</p> <p>And at such enormous cost. For that road’s price-tag of nearly three quarters of a billion pounds, Glasgow could have had an airport rail link, a refurbished subway, the much-needed Crossrail scheme, a new fleet of buses to run a proper regulated service, and the biggest investment ever in infrastructure for walking and cycling. In short, we could have had a transformation in the whole city’s transport system and a radical shift toward sustainable, low-carbon, clean and healthy transport.</p> <p>"</p> <p><a href="http://www.thenational.scot/comment/patrick-harvie-transport-policy-is-not-about-the-environment---its-about-public-health.18051" rel="nofollow">http://www.thenational.scot/comment/patrick-harvie-transport-policy-is-not-about-the-environment---its-about-public-health.18051</a> </p>
