ackergil street - one way?
Just read in the groat that there is a proposal to make Ackergil Street one way. VERY good idea I think. BUT there are problems. The school bus would have to park on the opposite side of the road posing a danger to the children. Alternatives put forward by the councilors - Remove the wall at the bottom of Ackergil Street (the owner of the house is not happy about that)
Make it one way in the other direction (how on earth is that going to change things? It's the traffic coming out that causes the problem)
Narrow Henrietta street at the point (eh?)
Now I'm going to put forward a few suggestions of my own.
Firstly the kids should be safe enough if they cross at the lollypop, however, to make things even safer, the bus could either park at the other school gate in Leith Walk, or it could park in the car park behind the school. The area next to the wall could be for buses only. they have such an area at Hillhead school.
The above would be cheaper and more sensible than what they are suggesting.
Tread softly because you tread on my dreams.
