Others remain the subject of skepticism, such as the Bristol Underground or cable cars.
This week, we asked Bristol Live readers on Facebook what they would like to see in their city until 2025.

The city’s Trenchard ice rink closed in 2012 and has become student apartments despite a relentless crusade to save it.

Danny Simons repeated: “More homes.
“I love the city, but I had to move because the rental costs were ridiculous. Too bad I love the city, but it’s not affordable to live there.

It would be the third largest stadium in the UK, after London’s O2 and Manchester Arena.
Many commentators are eager to see the sand materialize, even though a user said they would “do it when they saw it. “
Rich Woodford called for a “massive stadium for big concerts and concerts,” while Richard Clark agreed that Bristol is a “long-awaited decent stadium that can host great concerts. “
Several other people wanted to see the sand in the city center, but not on the outskirts of town.
