Bristol Councillors are currently discussing a new Parking and Kerbside Strategy for the city. A Task and Finish Group of the Transport and Connectivity Policy Committee has started meeting to develop the strategy, supported by council officers.
Rather than waiting until consultations on the strategy are held, BWA has submitted our initial input to the Task and Finish Group in advance.
For pedestrians, we see the most important outcomes of such a strategy being: (i) reduced footway obstructions, (ii) better safety and accessibility and (iii) improved health. In our input we have provided detailed comments on how kerbside space could be reallocated to improve streets for pedestrians.
