A summary results report is now available. This report provides details of responses to non-free text questions, and other information about the consultation.
We will create a consultation report that incorporates the consultation feedback and will guide us towards a preferred option going forward.
This will be released alongside a design review that will identify changes to the design (where appropriate). This should be released in the next two months.
All anonymised consultation responses will be released as part of the full consultation report, which will be released once we have been able to analyse the information we have received.

Muller Road is a busy transport route between Horfield, Lockleaze and Eastville. It is an important bus route and is also used by large numbers of pedestrians and cyclists, including school children.
More than 1,000 houses are planned in Lockleaze in the next few years, and Muller Road is already a congested route. This, along with a new school, two new supermarkets, and the on-going population increase of Bristol, means we need to take action now.
Significant congestion causes long delays to all traffic, including buses, for much of the day. We want your feedback on our proposals for transport improvements along Muller Road.
What we are proposing
Our proposals are summarised below and in the summary map in the leaflet sent to local residents, which can be seen by clicking here.
To see detailed drawings of the proposals, please scroll down to the "Related" section. Each drawing is named "Detailed drawing" followed by the area it covers.
Summary of proposals
The proposed new bus lanes would require parking restrictions along both sides of the road, to allow for free-flowing vehicles.
Other parking restrictions are proposed, to help make junctions work better - for example, at the junction of Gloucester Road and Muller Road, parked vehicles currently mean that it's often impossible to have more than five vehicles in the left turn lane. Extending the parking restriction here would reduce journey times and make the junction work better.
These proposals are still at a very early stage, and no decisions have been made.
We want you to understand exactly what is being proposed. In the 'Related' section near the bottom of this page, we have provided the technical drawings, answers to Frequently Asked Questions, and a detailed list of proposed changes (large and small) and the reasons for each.
These proposals are designed to help create a practical alternative to the private car, while increasing capacity for all vehicles. Buses, taxis, coaches, motorcycles and bicycles would be able to use the proposed new bus lanes while other vehicles would have the same number of lanes as before and more efficient traffic lights at junctions.
The aim of this consultation is to ask for your views on the proposals. We want to know which aspects of the proposals you support, any concerns you may have and your suggestions for how the proposals might be improved.
We will review all your feedback and decide if we should continue with the proposals and which changes to the proposals are possible. If the proposal progresses to the next stage, we will consult on revised proposals through the planning process or the Traffic Regulation Order process.
Please provide your feedback now so we can consider at this early stage if your suggestions can be included in the revised proposals - please do not wait until the second consultation phase to tell us about something you think should be changed.
For this consultation we have aimed to provide you as much information as we can. In the 'Related' section at the bottom of this page we have provided:
