a series of leaets designed to give you information on changes
happening in your area to enhance walking and cycling
opportunities.The CityConnect Cycle Superhighway will run from East
Leeds, through Leeds City Centre and out to Bradford. For most of
its length it will consist of cycletracks and junction improvements
that keep cyclistssegregated fromgeneral trafc and will be
suitablefor all ages and abilities, as well as giving
improvementsfor pedestrians. Consultation on the route between the
Bradford borderand Bramley has been on-going since February but
Stanningley is an area that needs a different approach. In
Stanningley there is a diversity of businesses plusresidential
houses that all have their own needs from the street layout. To
identify these needs we have held a series of local workshops which
have led us to proposethe designs you see here. Instead of
segregated cycle tracks we are proposing to enhance the
streetscape, introduce a 20mph zoneand create an environment that
will help local businessesto thrive, encourage people into the area
for businessas well as visit the cafes, pubs and restaurants and
enable cyclists to pass through in safety.About CityConnectThis
section runs from the junction of The Beeches on Bradford Road
through to the junction of Grangeeld Road on Town Street and is
approximately 800m long.Objectives: Improve cycle and pedestrian
safety. Enable businesses to continue to thrive. Reduce speed limit
along Bradford Road/Town Street to 20mph to improve cyclist safety.
Create horizontal trafc calming interventionsto ensure 20mph speed
limit is self-enforcing. Ensure cyclists are safely integrated with
vehicleswithin the carriageway. Improve the balance of functions
between userswithin the street. Maintain existing on-street parking
provision. Maintain/improve accessibility for businessesand
residents.Enhance the appearance of Stanningley Centreto encourage
use of its shops, restaurantsand services. Key Features: A
streetscape that enables safer passageby pedestrians and cycles
whilst maintaining its function as a major road. No segregated
cycle track, cyclists to ridewith vehicles within the carriageway.
A new 20mph speed limit proposed along theentire length of Section
D that includes Bradford Road and Town Street. New gateway features
for the 20mph zone toclearly indicate to all users that they are
entering a different street environment. Creation of 2 roundels on
the junction of Town Street and Richardshaw Lane, and Sun Fields,
to improve trafc ow and reduce speeds. Horizontal trafc calming
features at regularintervals throughout the street to maintain a
self-enforcing 20mph speed limit, providing informal pedestrian
crossing points. An increase of parking bays within the central
area. Creation of designated short and long stayparking bays to
ensure regular turnover and available spaces for local businesses.
