STV site plan ‘could mean traffic chaos’
A £100million development on the site of the former STV headquarters could spark
city centre traffic chaos, motorists have warned.
Construction is now under way to create a boutique hotel and prime office and
retail space at the top of Renfield Street.
The hotelier, who has not yet been named, wants to create a seven-story design-led
hotel on the corner of Hope Street and Renfrew Street.
The development, which is a joint venture between German property firm IVG Asticus
and Ediston Properties, will include 132 underground parking spaces with access
from Cowcaddens Road.
Road chiefs are to create a one-way system and filter lane in a bid to cut potential
traffic problems, with motorists only permitted to turn left into and out of the car park.
But drivers fear the additional traffic will cause the busy carriageway, which has
two sets of traffic lights, to become severely congested.
One motorist, who travels along the road every day, said: "It's ridiculous to put an
entrance to a car park on such a busy road. At times the traffic is nose to tail and
I pity anyone trying to get in or out of the car park."

Oh feck, not another landmark development of steel and glass that will look sh!te in 5 years when all the cladding falls off after a bit of wind.

I must have missed this thread before.
The first of HH's photos shows where I use to live. It could almost be a past and present shot.
