College Green and Canons Road Junction Works Tree Felling Consultation

Construction work started at this junction on Monday 11 August to improve journeys for people travelling from the centre towards College Green and Park Street.

The project includes upgrading the traffic signals for all road users, improving active travel routes, and creating more accessible crossings for pedestrians and cyclists.

More information about these improvement works is available on the council’s website.

Removal of the tree

The work includes replacing the outdated three-way traffic signals and widening the pavement and cycle path between the centre and College Green. To be able to do this, we need to shorten the central reservation on St Augustine’s Parade, where a tree is located (pictured below).

We would try to replant the tree in another location. However, we will not know whether this is feasible until we start the work around the tree.

We will plant three new trees near College Green’s junction with Anchor Road as part of the project.

Our commitment to trees

As a council, we are committed to increasing the number of trees in Bristol with 100,000 trees planted since 2015 as part of the One Tree Per Child and Trees for Streets programmes.
