People in Bristol have been invited to give their views on how to improve bus, walking and cycling journeys on a busy transport route in the city.
The number 2 bus route, from the A37 to the A4018, is the first to be assessed as Bristol City Council and the West of England Combined Authority look to improve travel through key areas over the next decade.
It’s part of the transformation of Bristol’s transport network, which is hoped to introduce better bus travel, cleaner air and improved walking and cycling routes.
Residents, businesses and anyone who uses any part of the route can give their views on what changes could be made to make cycling, walking and catching the bus easier, safer and more reliable.
The number 2 bus runs from Stockwood to Cribbs Causeway via the city centre.
It is one of eight transport routes identified as needing improvements due to the large numbers of people who use it.
Mayor Marvin Rees said: "This public engagement marks the start of an ambitious project to make serious improvements to the major transport routes in and out of Bristol.
"We are committed to creating a better, more connected future for everyone in the city and an improved transport system is critical to achieving that as it will help people to access jobs and leisure opportunities.
"Over the next decade we plan to make significant changes to these key routes that will protect public health and unlock barriers to inclusive economic growth with cleaner air, safer and better public transport, and improved walking and cycling routes.
"With a growing population we need to tackle these issues now, and we welcome the public’s input to help us agree the most effective approach to meet this challenge head on."
To help further, bus operator First West of England has confirmed it will double the frequencies of the number 2 bus route, starting from August 2.
