People talking about the changes for transport had me thinking a bit. I remember the walk up from the Scottie Road area as a kid,and it seemed like thousands. Now, when walking from Lime Street, it's a few hundred. We once had 54,000 regularly and half would walk it (some were still leaving bikes in the houses backing onto the jigger). To have 60-70k, most from far and wide (Skem, Kirkby, etc
)) there must be a lot of changes needed in the transport network.
What happened to the idea of re-opening the Canada Dock overhead? Is that off the cards?
I think the whole of North Liverpool is pretty shit when it comes to be linked to the City Centre. Wouldn't there be other benefits, e.g. blues in North Liverpool getting to Bramley Dock, work commutes for North Liverpool, etc.
Or was that idea shelved?
