And finally… Architect blasts ‘ridiculous’ positioning of bike lane bus stop

bus stopA cyclist has voiced his anger after a bus stop was placed across a Glasgow bike lane, the BBC has reported.

Architect and Glasgow Green Cycle Club member Michael Dougall tweeted his ire, saying he had been using the lane since it was completed last year.

The site, between Glasgow Green and the Velodrome, is in a part of the city that was a focus for Commonwealth Games regeneration.

Glasgow City Council said the path was now being rerouted behind the shelter.



The council apologised for the inconvenience and tweeted that the work should be completed this weekend.

However, Mr Dougall and others questioned what sort of Commonwealth Games legacy this was displaying and whether putting the cycle path into the way of pedestrians was a solution.

Others asked whether carrying out the work at the weekend was a good use of money.
