All feedback has been taken into consideration and an outcome report is published on this page. The information below was presented during the public consultation between 11 January - 19 February 2021.
Leeds City Council, in partnership with West Yorkshire Combined Authority, is working to add 7km to the existing cycling network in Leeds city centre.
Linking up and filling gaps in the existing and planned cycle network will deliver improved connectivity to, and around, the city centre. Filling in these gaps and addressing key barriers – such as bridge crossings – will help unlock suppressed demand for cycling and multiply the benefits of other schemes by improving connectivity across the whole cycle network.
This project is part of the Leeds City Region Transforming Cities Fund (TCF) programme; a major new programme of investment that aims to deliver transformational, new infrastructure and help create a step change in travel across the region. Doing so will help make active travel options like cycling safer and more appealing for people, and will be essential to reducing reliance on car travel and meeting the Leeds City Region commitment to become a net zero carbon city region by 2038.
The scheme comprises new cycling infrastructure in several Leeds city centre locations, to connect routes on the city’s existing cycle network and increase the length of continuous cycling infrastructure. Specifically, the interventions are situated as follows:
Western Gateway: Kirkstall Road to Wellington Street (A65) and St Pauls Street
Southern Gateway: Neville Street and Bishopgate Street, with Dark Neville Street and Sovereign Street connectors
Eastern Gateway: Lady Lane, Templar Street and Bridge Street
Crown Point Bridge Gateway: Black Bull Street and Crown Point Road
Holbeck Gateway: Whitehall Road to Holbeck
