The council wouldn't take on such a venture, dim-witted or not. It would be outsourced to consultants, architects etc, and rightly so.

The council would then get slaughtered for spending money in that way!
Aye obviously I didn’t mean the council would do and own the whole thing.

But they would need to be the principle actor in terms of co-ordination and the driving force to set up / commence / corral all the various private interest on such a journey.

They have had plenty of planning plans and the like for the new town and are of course busy making it impassable unless you are walking or ‘wheeling’ so clearly they think they have some remit here.

It would take vision, time and a lot of money and effort and that is what I’d clearly beyond them and sadly our central government. Lots of talk and hot air about a better Scotland, where better to start than your Capital city?

Instead we have endless road works, closed roads, massive congestion, miles and miles of unsightly plastic bollards and the main thoroughfare looking neglected and stuffed full of a long line of buses on a permanent basis.
