This engagement is now closed. Thank you to everyone who provided feedback. The responses are now being analysed by Leeds City Council and will be published on https://woodhouselanegateway.commonplace.is/

Following the first round of consultation at the beginning of 2024 we are excited to share plans connecting Leeds City Centre to three Leeds universities and the areas of Woodhouse and Hyde Park. Working in partnership with Leeds City Council these proposed improvements aim to make the route safer and more accessible for pedestrians and cyclists, something residents prioritised in the initial consultation earlier this year.

The scheme aims to improve journeys for people walking, cycling and using public transport along Woodhouse Lane, Blenheim Terrace, Blenheim Walk and Albion Street.

The proposals for the Woodhouse Lane Gateway include:

  • Segregated two-way cycle tracks along the whole of the route

  • Wider or upgraded pavements for pedestrians, and the potential for street cafes

  • New public spaces with trees, benches and greenery located at Cavendish Road (near the Parkinson Building), Lodge Street, and Hilary Place.

  • Simplifying traffic movements at key junctions, allowing them to work more efficiently and reduce the amount of congestion at junctions, benefitting all vehicles including buses

  • New or extended bus lanes to create quicker and more reliable bus journeys

  • Wider, straight across pedestrian crossings, for simpler and more accessible ways to cross for people walking, wheeling and cycling

  • The removal of the central bus island on Woodhouse Lane (near Walkabout), replacing it with a traditional pavement bus shelter, creating a simpler road layout for all road users

  • Upgraded bus waiting areas, with improved bus shelters, real-time information screens, and the possibility of ‘green' roofs on some bus shelters

  • Continuous crossings along the route

  • New trees and landscaping along the route.
