First look at Temple Gate transformation plan
Plans to transform Temple Gate – one of the original medieval gateways into Bristol – have been launched for public consultation.
The proposals include replacing the Temple Circus roundabout, close to Temple Meads station, with a new simplified road layout providing a more direct route for traffic with fewer traffic lights.
Planners claim this will create a better environment and more space for the hundreds of pedestrians and cyclists that use the area every day.
This is the first step in a multi-million pound scheme to eventually totally transform the area with new buildings and a public square.
The proposals include:
- A more direct route for traffic with fewer traffic lights and changes to access
- A single crossing replacing three road crossings between the station and Brunel Mile
- Space for new buildings and public square giving life to the area day and night
- Better public transport links with upgraded stops and a new Metrobus stop
- Improvements to cycle routes
Plans are on show at the Engine Shed until January 30 or can be seen at www.bristoltemplequarter.com/gate.
The consultation closes on February 18.
