Proposals to create a bus gate on a busy road in Bristol sparked a strong reaction among Bristol Live readers. The section of the road could be closed to cars to prioritise public transport and improve air quality.
A consultation has now been launched by the council to install a bus gate on Cumberland Road. The proposed bus gate - which would provide access for buses, taxis, motorcycles, and cycles - would be installed to the east of Gas Ferry Road and affect inbound traffic only.
The council says the measure would help them meet legal air quality targets while improving walking, cycling and bus journeys. BristolLive's story about the plans to install a bus gate received more than 50 comments.
