A new walking and cycling bridge connecting two villages across a major commuter route is at the heart of plans for transform travel in west Leeds.
The scheme will also propose a reduction in speed to 50mph starting from A6120 Horsforth roundabout and finishing at A647 Bramley Town End, which could be enforced by either fixed or average speed cameras.
Connecting Leeds, the council’s transport division, expect the proposals to lead to; increased walking and cycling levels within west Leeds, especially for short journeys and, as a result, fewer emissions from transport; improved safety for all road users; and reduced journey times for all vehicles using the Outer Ring Road, especially buses.
The plans follow on from a consultation on Connecting West Leeds phase one, which was carried out in November and December 2021 on improvements to the Fink Hill junction, Horsforth roundabout and the creation of a cycle route from Horsforth roundabout to Rodley roundabout. Phase one works will start on site in Summer and Autumn 2022.
