This busy part of Bristol city centre is home to cultural venues, including Bristol Hippodrome, the O2 Academy and Bristol Beacon, as well as pubs, restaurants, shops, offices and homes.
Proposals include:
A zebra crossing is also being proposed on Trenchard Street as part of a different project. This is not being asked about in the Denmark Street consultation.
Councillor Ed Plowden, Chair of the Transport and Connectivity Committee, said:
“This area of the city is a key part of Bristol’s cultural offering. We are aiming to make it safer and more welcoming for everyone, whether you are heading to a show or concert, grabbing a bite to eat, or just passing through.
“Please do get involved in this consultation, as your views will help us to shape this important area and support Bristol’s night-time economy.”
This project is expected to funded by the UK Government as part of the City Region Sustainable Transport Settlement, secured by the West of England Mayoral Combined Authority.
Helen Godwin, the Mayor of the West of England, said:
“Bristol city centre is home to some of the West’s biggest attractions, so people across our region should have their say on potential investment in improved public spaces there and making it easier to get around. Working with local businesses, residents, and the council, together we can make a real difference that people can see and feel in our part of the world.
“Getting the basics right now by improving our walking and cycling infrastructure, and fixing our roads and bridges, can lay the foundations for a better transport system overall. We secured £752 million for that next stage in June’s Spending Review. That means that the West can get out of the slow lane on transport and start to catch up with other city-regions. That’s about active travel, as well as better buses, more trains, and mass transit.”
