Dollymarie Posted November 1, 2016 Report Share Posted November 1, 2016 I'm allowed to cry looking at the below images yes? As if Hartcliffe Way wasn't bad enough already. Nobody wants the stupid bloody metrobus, and the next bit of it starts in January. We've already had over 2 years of Bristol Water digging the place up, they've just about finished, and now this.

marmite Posted November 1, 2016 Report Share Posted November 1, 2016 My route to and from matches absolutely shafted., and all for a bus that nobody wants and nobody wants to run. Don't anyone tell me this council isn't anti motorist!! This metrobus scheme has caused problems for years and if it ever gets finished, it still won't serve where I live. Where's me pills nurse???

Slippin cider Posted November 1, 2016 Report Share Posted November 1, 2016 Bristol is one big building site already ...this is going to make it even worse ...they do love to cause chaos our council ...they'll tell you it's progress . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fiale Posted November 1, 2016 Report Share Posted November 1, 2016 Did they not dig all that up only a couple of years ago, narrowed the road, and added a cycle lane that no one uses for a few hundred thousand £. Now they are going to rip up the cycle lane and add a bus lane that will get used by how many buses a hour ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meh Posted November 1, 2016 Report Share Posted November 1, 2016 Look on the bright side - council tax is going up above inflation yet again to help pay for all these unnecessary and unwanted changes !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So All cars and vans going to Hartcliffe will drive up Novers Hill and down Novers Lane, passing close to two schools in a clearly residential area that in other parts of the city would have speed restrictions and residents parking zones, you couldn't make this up, one decent snow fall and there will be chaos, one or two car/van breakdowns ditto. If they have estimated 10 months, it will take 14, still not to worry, the mayor has been to New York, which is where he probably got the idea for gridlock from.

reddogkev Posted November 1, 2016 Report Share Posted November 1, 2016 The people who make these decisions must be absolutely insane, or agents of chaos, out to bring the city to a complete standstill. The money being spent on all of this is beyond ridiculous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Portred Posted November 1, 2016 Report Share Posted November 1, 2016 The ******* idiot council have agreed they can move the crossing further away from parson street school. And all these changes were certified without notifying the school at all, let alone asking their input. we want a bus, that's it. Forget the kids safety we don't care. Someone needs shooting Complete pri*cks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The ironic thing is, is that when the new link road opens, traffic on Hartcliffe Way will be greatly reduced anyway, making a bus lane unnecessary, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

asfred Posted November 2, 2016 Report Share Posted November 2, 2016 Living around the Parson Street gyratory, with kids at Parson St school, this is going to be a nightmare. I feel sorry for people who need to travel by car to matches or commute through the area, it is going to be horrendous. One upside is that the new road will be open by then, so if you are coming in on the A38, or want to take a long diversion then you can cut out Parson St and Winterstoke Rd altogether.

Actually if your in Keynsham your closer to mine than me, so if your passing just pop in and say hello, she may keep you a while she likes a good gossip. May take you a bit of time on Hartcliffe way though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marmite Posted November 2, 2016 Report Share Posted November 2, 2016 Seriously we need to know the true cost of this to our rates bills. As Fiale said above; there was chaos here before when the seldom used cycle lane was installed. And the council are always pleading poverty. Three words you never see in the same sentence with regard to Bristol are...traffic...moving...freely! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bristol Rob Posted November 2, 2016 Report Share Posted November 2, 2016 I think some of you are taking a very short sighted view of this. Assuming they can find someone to run the service - and they haven't yet. It is only 200 million quid (estimated) - and that could save up to 2 minutes on a journey from somewhere you don't want to be to somewhere you don't want to visit. AND it won't be cheap to use. With a deal like that, I struggle to understand the negativity surround the project. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reddogkev Posted November 2, 2016 Report Share Posted November 2, 2016 All of this reminds me of the film Brewster's Millions. If the council can spend over £500 million on useless carp before 2020, perhaps they stand to inherit a trillion pounds? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dolls Bristol Water and others must have a least 3 years digging up the road by miners again and again and again and again and again , it was nothing short of a scandal, but they got away with it because it was in a part of Bristol where people just get on with it and don't make a fuss. Getting back to the Hartcliffe Way, they must open the South Bristol link road before this work is allowed to be carried out other wise I'm going to a Boris and lay down in front of the bulldozers.

It wasn't quite three years, only just about 2, but was supposed to only take 8 weeks! And rest assured I was making a fuss, I had a gert big hole outside my house for all that time!
