Context

Over the past decade changes have been made to the road network in Bristol to improve bus journey times and encourage walking and cycling. However, the transport network in Bristol still faces challenges, including growth in housing and employment areas, unreliable journey times, and high levels of congestion and air pollution.

To address these challenges, and help Bristol reach its 2030 carbon neutral target, Bristol and the West of England Combined Authority have committed to developing and improving bus services over the next 10 to 15 years as a priority for the region, in collaboration with bus operators.

Transport improvements to the A4 Portway route

The A4 in Bristol links the city centre with two of the city’s Park and Ride sites: one at Portway and one at Brislington.

We are focussing now on how to improve the bus services and the walking and cycling environment along the north western section of the A4, from the Portway near the M5 flyover to Anchor Road at the junction with Explore Lane (near We The Curious).

We would like your views on how the A4 Portway route could be improved for bus travel, walking, cycling. Your suggestions, at this early stage, will help us design proposals that will work for everyone.
