Bristol City Council is working to improve cycling facilities but to do this more effectively, they want input from you, the people who actually use the facilities, to help ensure that the funding is spent in the most effective way possible.
You can add new markers to the map with comments to highlight areas which are good for cyclists and to suggest places where new facilities could be located. This could be a need for cycle parking, cycle lanes, cycle access or contra flows in one way systems, or other things.
The Council will consider this feedback when its planning its cycle projects and other schemes but obviously budgets are limited so it will not be possible to act on all ideas or comments.
To add a new comment, go to the Bicycles section of the map, click anywhere on the map (not on existing marker) to open up the info window and fill in the mini form. If you click an existing comment marker you can click the "Add Comment" link to add an additional comment to the existing ones.
You can also share your knowledge of good cycling routes by adding a route line to your marker. To do this click the "Add a cycle route to the map" button in the side bar and then click on the map to add segments of a line. When you have finished adding your line click the Save Line button in the side bar and then fill in details of the line just like on other types of comment.
This comment system is to improve the cycle facilities generally. But for defective highway structures and maintenance issues. (e.g pot holes, broken glass, blocked drains, obstructions, broken street lighting etc.) it will be better to contact the council's customer services and report these things so that they can be dealt with rather than adding markers to this site. There are on line forms for reporting problems or you can contact them by email or phone.
