Campaigners have criticised the removal of cycling and walking improvements from a major revamp of a key road connecting north Bristol to the M32. City councillors approved the next step of plans for more bus lanes on Muller Road in Lockleaze.

But Bristol Cycling Campaign is furious that proposals first announced in 2018 to make active travel easier and safer on the ‘cycle-hostile road for only the brave and bold cyclist’ have been dropped. The council’s transport and connectivity policy committee voted 8-0, with one abstention, to proceed with the revised second phase of the project by submitting an outline business case (OBC) for almost £1million to create new bus lanes on the bottom half of Muller Road, from the railway bridge near Shaldon Road to Heath Road.[/quote]

And just how are you supposed

And just how are you supposed to transport your three kits children to the only decent school school you can get them in / nursery, to their after school activities, then home safely again, with their longbows, ‘cellos or just keep them safe because they’re only 9 / have special physical or other needs?

(TBF it’s another “chicken and egg” issue for the UK as we have literally built in “need to drive” and mentally / socially established this as part of adult patterns).

Meanwhile in The Netherlands… (as noted by David Hembrow, contrasting with the UK’s “more training, less cycling“).

Close vote then, one senses
Close vote then, one senses that environmentally friendly travel just means getting an EV and not changing any other aspect of usage, like introducing some active element…
