Creating more pedestrian & cycle space on main roads

Connecting Leeds is committed to ensuring people feel safe enough to do their everyday essential journeys or get their daily exercise by bike or on foot.

We have invested over £30m on cycle superhighways in the last few years, but realise to achieve our ambition of 500 miles of segregated cycle routes we need to find quicker and cheaper ways to deliver this network on all our main roads in the city.

We will investigate more roads and routes to realise our cycling network ambition of 500 miles and look to allocate sufficient space for people on foot and on bike where possible. Measures may include temporary bike lanes and/or widened footways.

We welcome your views below on further opportunities where we may implement these measures:
