Subway to close to make space for new segregated cycle path More trees will also be planted in the space created by the removal of the underpass

How dare the council close this putrid and little-used subway with a pedestrian crossing already above it to make Redcliff Hill safer for the most vulnerable road users

The Rainbow Bridge is still looking drop-dead gorgeous

Bristol has a new fully pedestrianised stretch of road Little by little, Bristol is becoming a better city for pedestrians

More of this everywhere please

Great question at We The Curious

Great to see the official opening of the permanently pedestrianised Princess Victoria Street

What a joyful way to start the day recently, joining Bristol’s first ‘bike bus’. More of this please!

This new permanent barrier between Broad Quay and the area-formerly-known-as-the-fountains seems rather excessive

Families furious as play equipment removed from park Nothing now remains in the playground which used to have swings, a slide and a roundabout

Sad to say that you usually don’t see this sort of thing happening in more affluent areas of Bristol

I'll join you if you do that experiment!

New red surface on cycle lanes could reduce conflict between cyclists and pedestrians The trial is expected to cost up to £250,000 which will be funded by income generated by the Clean Air Zone

The fact that it took me about ten seconds last night to take the photo illustrating this story shows that most of the cycle lanes around the Centre are currently completely unfit for purpose

The three-wheeled pied piper Dom Whiting brought those pesky cyclists out in force today as Drum & Bass on the Bike returned to Bristol

Transport secretary Heidi Alexander is with new metro mayor Helen Godwin. Alexander said: “There were some candidates who thought this job was about sitting in a chateau, appointing a deputy… The people of the West of England deserve better than millionaire politicians treating politics as a game.”

'Invisible' cycle lane to finally be made more visible It comes as work to transform the Centre has been delayed

One of Bristol's invisible cycle paths could soon be made more visible. I can never blame pedestrians for ambling into the way of cyclists here. The whole set-up of the Centre is just an omnishambles.

On the search for a long-lost pub Whatever happened to the New Inn?

Love that photo! I went on a hunt for the New Inn last year

Bristol's first cyclist waiting aids installed Are they the future or just a bit pointless?

I really want to like these new 'cyclist waiting aids' but I think they are a bit pointless, solving a problem that was not there to be solved

Pedestrians set to be given priority over vehicles at crossings The amber stop light for cars could appear immediately after someone presses the wait button

This should absolutely be the norm

Traders united in opposition to closing Park Street to through-traffic Ambitious plans envisage Park Street "made into a pleasant environment and encourage people to spend more time supporting local businesses"

"You talk to anybody around here, we're very worried. We all have signs up in our windows: Save Park Street."

Traders on what was once Bristol's most prestigious shopping road are united in their opposition to close it to through-traffic

Temporary community hub to open at Jacob's Wells Baths Historic England's latest grant of £90,000 is the latest step to fully reopening the building

Jacob's Wells Road and Jacob's Wells Baths need to be written with apostrophes; and I will die on this hill

Souvenir selfie on this splendid morning next to Bristol’s best road name

Is the end nigh for notorious eyesore? Demolition could be starting soon in this corner of Castle Park

Is the end nigh for one of Bristol's most notorious eyesores?

This is a fabulous opinion piece from Krista Yellowhammer which reminded me of when I used to balance both of my daughters on my bike - one at the front and one at the back. Happy days of just managing to get up Park Street.

Prince Street Bridge could finally be closed to cars The busy bridge would be reserved for people walking, cycling or wheeling only under new proposals

As low-hanging fruit goes, closing Prince Street Bridge to cars is an example of doing something small that could make a big difference. It's only one-way to cars; and the narrowness of the other side causes regular conflict between pedestrians and cyclists. Just get it closed!

This is a brave new world!

'Legitimate concerns of many east Bristol residents are being dismissed' Annabel Lacey responds to Zoe Banks Gross, saying a more balanced approach is needed for the East Bristol Liveable Neighbourhood trial

Here's a journalism first for me: I have a very strong suspicion that this opinion piece was written by AI. I'm giving the author the benefit of the doubt right now but have asked her for clarification

400-metre path to cost council almost £10m The floating pontoon was originally due to connect Temple Quay with Bristol Arena

A pontoon that was originally due to connect Temple Quay with the proposed site of Bristol Arena is years behind schedule and almost four times the cost of the original budget

New artwork 'adds a little bit of joy' to railway station Lucas Antics and Paul Monsters were commissioned to paint the two murals

This is fantastic

It does. But not very often!

Something happened in Bristol today you might never have seen before

Boston Tea Party to close one of their Bristol cafes Boston Tea Party is celebrating its 30th anniversary in 2025

Thanks for letting me know about this. I wrote a little story yesterday:

Proposed increase to Clean Air Zone charge 'a herd of cash cows' Motorists could be charged more to enter the Clean Air Zone under Bristol City Council plans to balance its budget

You know what I see here? A splendid new segregated bike lane. What now needs to happen is to be able to safely cycle to the top of Colston Street from the bottom of St Michael's Hill.
