Car Parking and Cycling – items in the news.

pavement parking

Today’s Herald has this very positive article about the Pavement Parking Bill being promoted by Glasgow Kelvin MSP Sandra White: http://www.heraldscotland.com/news/14119494.Motorists_set_to_be_banned_from_parking_on_pavements/  (The picture on the website shows Derek Mackay, one of the confirmed speakers for the GoBike! Hustings on 16 March 2016.)

Also, a good analysis in yesterday’s issue  in a letter from Norman Armstrong following on from Bob Downie’s about sharing road space: http://www.heraldscotland.com/opinion/14116575.Cars_have_killed_45_000_Britons_in_the_21st_century__bicycles_less_than_10/

This letter is followed by another “interesting” one from someone complaining about people cycling on footways – just as well he wasn’t “clipped on the shoulder” by a car – and Alexandra Parade is somewhere we have suggested to Glasgow City Council that needs cycle lanes on the road.
