More on this in the links below.
http://thisisbristol.co.uk/displayNode.jsp?nodeId=145365&command=displayContent&sourceNode=145191&contentPK=19163526&folderPk=83726&pNodeId=144922

Investment for Showcase 2 has been split between Bristol City Council , which gave ^5.5 million , and ^7.1 from First.

Meanwhile , Bristol's transport leader has promised congestion charging will not be brought in before alternative measures are in place (link below.)
http://thisisbristol.co.uk/displayNode.jsp?nodeId=145365&command=displayContent&sourceNode=145191&contentPK=19164056&folderPk=83726&pNodeId=144922

Labour's Mark Bradshaw gave his assurances as he addressed the full council at the Council House yesterday.

He said: "We have no intention of introducing congestion charging in the city without the necessary public transport systems in place first."

Those systems could include four Bus Rapid Transit routes , extensive bus network improvement schemes , rail improvements , new park and rides and improved cyclist and pedestrian routes.

The West of England Partnership - an alliance of the four councils in the former Avon area - has mooted a daily congestion charge of ^4.

Conservative councillor Richard Eddy tabled a motion at the council meeting that called for "acceptable public transport alternatives" to be in place before a congestion charge is imposed.
