Bristol region transport plan

[captain nemo1701]

As some here will recall, a plan to turn the B2B cyle path into a mass transit route was rejected about 11 years ago but with the imminent publication of new 'maps', I was wondering if the path was under threat again?.

Here's a piccy from the WECA pdf. Note the green dashed line (my black arrow) which is obviously the B2B path. Parallel to the north is an odd 'Mass transit' arrow which, unless completely underground, will mean bulldozing quite a few homes

Plus, it's suspiciously close to the B2B path.

Local to me, we're seeing bad old 1970s road plans resurfacing yet again, like "relief" and "access" roads (anything to avoid true bypasses) and dualling links without upgrading the junctions at the ends of them (yay, bigger queues building up faster!). Will these unworkable evil zombie ideas never die?

Also, that map! "Improved road", "rail improvements", "bus route improvements"... And for cycle routes? Do they get improvements? No, just "cycle routes".

Surely BCC won't start to propose using the B2B track for anything else than the cycle / pedestrian route that it currently is.... I remember the protests from years ago and can only imagine the furore if they initiate any changes... 🤔
