Low traffic neighbourhood could form part of cycle route improvements
An area of St Werburgh’s could be turned into a low traffic neighbourhood as part of planned improvements to the Concorde Way.
Dedicated pedestrian and cycle space are among the options to improve safety along Mina Road, York Street and James Street.
Other options in St Werburgh’s include creating a two-way segregated cycle path through Mina Road tunnel; and the introduction of parking restrictions around junctions and protection at side roads

These options are all part of an early engagement exercise around the southern section of Concorde Way between Wade Street close to Riverside Park and through St Werburgh’s to Muller Road.
Bristol City Council officers are now asking for feedback on the proposed improvements in order to make Concorde Way “a safer and more pleasant cycling and walking route to encourage more people to use it”.
The currently section of the route next to what will become the new Ashley Down train station has not been included in this consultation.
Changes to Concorde Way from Riverside Park up to Junction 3 of the M32 could include widening the existing north western path as an alternative route for cycles, widening the existing paths in the Junction 3 roundabout and improved legibility – map: Bristol City Council
