This will allow for a 3m wide two-way cycle lane as well as widened sidewalks and improved side road crossings. You can find a more detailed description of the plans by clicking here.

An online information session will take place on Monday, February 28 from 5:30 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. where you can find out more about the project team’s proposals and ask them all your questions. The consultation runs until Tuesday, March 15 midnight.

Councilor Helen Hayden, Leeds City Council’s executive member for infrastructure and climate, said:

“It’s always important to remember that in addition to being the primary means of getting around, cycling and walking can play a part in larger trips. That’s why I’m excited to see how this scheme will further improve cycle access to Leeds station, allowing people to extend their train journeys across West Yorkshire and beyond.

“We want to make Leeds a bike-friendly city by making cycling a normal daily activity for everyone. We are working on bigger and better connectivity and with a more attractive public space to make this vision a reality.

A separate scheme will see the cycle route extended from Tommy Wass Junction to White Rose Shopping Center and Office Park, consultation on these plans ended in December.

The Dewsbury Road extension adds to the planned 4.5km of new fully separated two-way lanes in the town center to create 11km of cycle paths, following consultation on five other sections last year.

The schemes aim to make cycling and walking easier in Leeds city centre, either for shorter journeys or as part of a longer journey on public transport.

“Making it easier to cycle and walk is an essential part of my commitment to making transport work for people and tackling the climate emergency on our path to becoming a net-zero carbon economy by 2038,” said Tracy Brabin, Mayor of West Yorkshire.

“A better and more inclusive transportation network goes beyond getting people from point A to point B. It’s about making sure everyone can access job opportunities, education and training and to get all of us – our employees, our communities, our businesses – where we want to be as a region.

The five domains previously consulted were:

West Gate: Kirkstall Road to Wellington Street (A65) and St Pauls Street.

South gate: Neville Street and Bishopgate Street, with Dark Neville Street and Sovereign Street connectors.

East Gate: Lady Lane, Templar Street and Bridge Street.

Crown Point Bridge Walkway: Black Bull Street and Crown Point Road.

Holbeck connector: Whitehall Road to Holbeck.

The first phase of the Holbeck Connector is now complete, with work on the second phase expected to begin in the spring.

Construction work is also expected to begin in the spring on the Crown Point Bridge Gateway, with the West Gateway and the South Gateway at the site in the summer.

These routes are part of a £7million package provided by the council in partnership with the Combined Authority through its Transforming Cities Fund programme, which aims to make it easier to walk, cycle and use transport public.

When completed, the six sections will complement the new Elland Road and Dewsbury Road cycleways, which opened last autumn and were delivered under the Combined Authority’s CityConnect scheme.
