Re: Green Disks and Bus Stations
The council have promised that free parking will continue because they believe it encourages people to come to Accy. (Seem to remember I said that once. It doesn't take 'em long to catch on does it?)
As for the bus street. Before they changed things by siting the open market up the side of the market hall there were even times then that the buses got in each other's way but it was a darned site better than it is now. Some of the ones up on Bridge Street are so tucked out of the way that some people don't even realise there are bus stops up there. They think they are just parked up for a break (as some are). What kind of a bus station has some of the stops round a corner (ie Infant Street) and some in a parallel street? It's nonsense.
And that's quite apart from the silly siting of the Fern Gore stop where pedestrians can't get up and down Peel Street for the queue, which never knows which direction it's meant to queue in and which gets soaking wet when it rains due to the pathetic little "shelter". We had some decent bus shelters once which actually kep the rain off.
