Building work is due to begin this summer on two major walking and cycling upgrades in Bristol with a third planned next winter. Pedestrians and cyclists are set to benefit from the three projects scheduled to start construction this year.
A new cycling route will be built joining up the “missing links” between the end of the Bath Railway Path through Old Market to Castle Park and Baldwin Street. A pedestrianisation scheme in Cotham Hill and a temporary bike lane on Park Row will also be made permanent.
Elsewhere, Bristol City Council is applying for new cash from the government to change the city’s streets and make them safer for walking and cycling. The growth and regeneration scrutiny commission heard updates on all this work and more on Wednesday, January 25.
