Plans to “transform” Leeds city centre would make busy junctions safer for walking and cycling, according to council bosses.
People have encouraged to give their input on proposals like pavement widening, introducing greenery and setting up “street cafés” on some of the city’s main routes, as part of a new consultation. The project – called the ‘Leeds City Links’ plan – aims to improve the design of streets, making Leeds an easier city to get around. The consultation focuses on transformations to the north and south of the city centre, extending from Great George Street to Call Lane.
“The delivery of major city centre schemes, like the closure of City Square, have helped to reduce general through traffic and free up space for greener and healthier travel choices. “Importantly, the plans also make busy junctions in the city centre safer for pedestrians and cycle users, working towards the Vision Zero Strategy of eliminating road deaths and serious injuries on Leeds roads by 2040. “I’d urge everyone that uses the area to have their say in the consultation.
