Full Business Case for A4174 improvements to be submitted to the West of England Combined Authority
The project team and designers have now reviewed the feedback provided through the consultation and considered opportunities to improve the scheme.
Local people showed strong support for the proposed improvements to walking, wheeling, cycling and bus infrastructure on the A4174. However, questions were asked about some elements of the scheme - a Design Response document which you can find on this page of this site seeks to answer these questions.
Next steps for this project are for a Full Business Case to be submitted to the West of England Combined Authority who are funding these improvements in the summer 2024. They will review the evidence presented and make a final decision about whether the scheme should proceed.
Consultation report published
The project team is grateful to the hundreds of local people who shared their views via this consultation. With so many responses, this feedback provides a comprehensive summary of local people’s views. The consultation report summarises the findings of the survey and the map plots comments which relate to specific locations where people have highlighted potential improvements or concerns. You can find links to both on this page.
The consultation report has been shared with the project team, project sponsors and other decision-makers for consideration. The next step is for the project team and designers to review specific feedback and original designs to evaluate potential opportunities to make improvements and enhancements and address concerns. A separate design response document will summarise the findings of this exercise, which will be published on this site.
Still time to have your say
Thank you to everyone who has taken part in our travel improvement consultation so far.
We’ve already had feedback from hundreds of local residents and stakeholders on proposals to improve active and sustainable travel.
We also appreciate the time people have taken to join us at our drop-in sessions. It’s been great to meet with people and discuss the issues that are important to them.
Topics raised include:
- the need for segregated cycle ways
- new speed limits
- the new and improved crossings for pedestrians and cyclists
The project has a dedicated Your Questions Answered section where you can find further information on these topics and more.
