New crem

It’s an unknown no formal plans submitted to show what development would be carried out on access roads.

ICT & St J both reliant on the A9, much busier trunk road

Amazing what well sequenced traffic lights can do to control flow of traffic off the A9 and into McDairmid. Just as amazing what poorly sequenced traffic lights can do to mess up flow from the same road into The Caledonian Stadium (although that might be fixed now).

The original point was that access to and from the new stadium development might be problematical given the reliance on the Kingsway. Seems to me still to be a valid point of view. Am I wrong?

It is valid.

[dayster]

It is valid.

Of course it is. All viewpoints in a planning consultation are valid and must be considered. I could raise a concern that the use of the land reduced the space available for UFOs to land in The north west of the city it may be a valid concern to me*

*its not, there is ample room for UFOs in the surrounding area

Do explain how a new well structured roundabout will be built to allow a new stadium for DFC. If you are going to propose a solution it helps us to visualise what you are thinking.

I'm neither a roads engineer nor town planner. Neither do I believe for one minute that discussion is relevant.

However, from my amateur stand point, you get traffic off the arterial route - like at McDairmid - then manage it from there. Kingsway is a dual carriageway, do what they did at Balado for T In The Park and extend the slip road by splitting the traffic well in advance of the new slip road, football traffic only in left lane and through traffic in right. Sequence the lights at the Myrekirk Circle intelligently to allow the traffic travelling east to west to flow into the filter lane.

Good we agree, Islays viewpoint is valid.

Dont get sucked into thinking there will be a new stadium.

Literally the mootest of all moot points

Sorry Deeranged. I was trying to see if there was a real chance of the stadium getting the road issue sorted. It seems to me to be a problem and given the changes that appear to be happening in retail a activity it might be that a change of plan is required. Buy back Dens might actually be a better plan?

Dens redevelopment is the best option right now for me. They used the age old excuse of 'we don't know what we'll find when we did out the south banking' to withdraw from the Dens buy back promise but that's just shoite. If there was a toxicity problem it would be 100% known by now and would have had to have been addressed. There is however absolutely zero toxic material buried under The Derry.

Might be a couple of bodies mind.

Unfortunately I'm coming round to RRoS' view and think Tannadice will be our home at some point in the not too distant
