Do not see the value this will add to traffic problems.

The trees need to stay, not that much bus time would be saved by removing the trees.....

It would be a massive mistake to remove the trees and insert a bus lane. A mistake that all.of the local residents would be left to deal with unaided I'm sure.

A bus lane is not necessary along this road and is a total waste of money.

CAERPHILLY road is not wide enough for bus lane. Do the people responsible for these decisions ever ever ever visit sites in peak times please do Planning permissions for new estates all over the place in Cardiff north and Caerphilly WITHOUT ANY THOUGHT FOR NEW ROADS. WAKEY WAKY WELSH so called Governament

No need to destroy trees for the sake of a bus moving down a short piece of road slight quicker. Also a massive waste of money and an upheaval while the work goes on.

I catch the 27 bus every weekday from Llanishen to Cardiff city centre. This will hardly make a difference to the journey time. Better off spending the money on repairing the existing roads.

Another council plan which will cost residents massive disruption, cause traffic chaos and have little actual benefit to the overall infrastructure Surely the money could be more constructively used elsewhere?

I think the council are moving one bottleneck from Maes-y-coed juror to the Heathwood turn off? Where will residents of Caerphilly Road be able to park their cars when the verge has been removed. I also feel the Council have cut down enough trees around Cardiff which is not helping our environment and Wildlife. PLEASE DON'T CUT DOWN THE TREES

Useless idea having an yes-no-yes-no bus lane. It'll just create more queues.

This is such a bad plan! There is absolutely no point in cutting down these beautiful, old trees for the sake of buses getting 2 minutes extra on their route (which may not even happen because the system relies on drivers to let them in anyway!) I normally admire Cardiff Council for their green approach to running this city so very disappointed to see these plans in place! Let us not waste money, time and materials ruining a perfectly lovely road!

The verges need sorting out but the trees must stay! - and there's definitely no need for such a short bus lane, which will cause chaos at an already chaotic road.

Another grand way to ruin the environment, but more importantly these trees are needed in a busy area of the city to manage the quality of air.

It's ludicrous to cut these trees down just for a few minutes traffic. I used to work near there and would just leave a little earlier to make sure I got to work on time!

Waste of money- little benefit to bus times and loss of amenity to the area- better to spend the money repairing the potholes throughout the city.

To take these trees down is disgusting and a complete waste of money, CCC say they have to save money so start by looking at this mad sceme.

Pointless what a waste of money. I use the buses and have no problem with the current service.
