Consultation has concluded
We are seeking views on proposals to extend the m1 metrobus south route and install active travel improvements along Hawkfield Road.
The aim of this project is to improve access to public transport by connecting new and existing housing areas that are currently under-served, providing faster journey times and improving user-experience from Imperial Park to Cribbs Causeway. Alongside the bus route, our proposals seek to make Hawkfield Road safer for pedestrians and cyclists, improving the active travel network and further encouraging more use of active travel modes.
The key improvements include:
Extension of the m1 metrobus route to Imperial Park
Replacement bus-stops at Imperial Park and Hawkfield Road providing high-quality, branded bus shelters with real-time information and kerbside raised platform waiting areas
Installing a two-way cycleway along Hawkfield Road, segregated from the footway and highway
Upgrading pedestrian and cyclist crossings on Hawkfield Road, Briscoes Avenue, Fulford Road and Whitchurch Lane
Speed restrictions and traffic calming measures including speed limit reductions, raised tables and speed cushions
Vehicle access restrictions on a section of Butterfly Lane
Parking and loading restrictions along Hawkfield Road
What happens next?
The consultation responses will be analysed, and further technical details will be assessed before a further round of statutory consultation takes place before Spring 2025. Following the statutory consultation a business case would be submitted to the Department of Transport via West of England Mayoral Combined Authority in order to gain funding for the project. If successful, construction of the scheme may begin in 2026.
