Liverpool Waterloo Tunnel Update 10th Feb 2008

[Waterways]

On the contrary, I would have pedestrianised more of the city centre creating a periphery road route around its edge only, served from the main arterial routes with strategically placed multi storey car parks with park and ride buses or trams only using the remaining centre roads to get you to and from your car to the shops/places of interest. This would do away with hundreds of traffic lights, signs and traffic wardens as we know them and allow for pavement cafes and a European feel and you'd actually look up and notice the buildings we take for granted. It would also be disabled friendly with an emphasis on using public transport to enter the city wherever possible. I for one never park right in the centre these days anyway, too much trouble getting in and out - the 1960s photos and 70s memories of Church Street are bad enough without all the extra traffic these days.

Ged, a man of my own heart. The selfishness of car owners has ruined British cities.



A periphery road would not do much as all you could do is ride around it. Edge Hill is superb for park and ride if the Wapping and Waterloo tunnels are brought back into use.

The Dock Rd should go as it acts as big unnecessary barrier preventing the dock areas from merging into the city beyond. A urban motorway running through the centre the city does not need at all, and that is all the Dock Rd is. The Strand should be like the Ramblas in Barcelona with pavement cafes, etc.

Roll on the city centre and dock waters high rises and getting the city populated again.
