Leeds City Council is asking residents for feedback on transport options and public spaces across the eastern side of Leeds city centre, including St. Peter's Street, York Street, Eastgate, Duke Street, Kirkgate, Crown Point Road, Marsh Lane and East Street.
The consultation will help shape plans to improve public transport, walking, cycling and public spaces in this area. Residents are invited to share views on current issues and which improvements should be prioritised.
Why this area matters
The eastern side of the city centre is a key travel hub, with many busy bus routes passing through the area. It is home to Leeds bus station, leisure and cultural facilities, educational institutions, and a large and growing residential population. The area serves people travelling by bus, walking, cycling and car.
Council's wider goals
The project supports Leeds City Council's plans to reduce carbon emissions and promote sustainable travel. It also aligns with Vision Zero, a strategy aimed at eliminating road deaths and serious injuries in Leeds by 2040.
Councillor Tom Hinchcliffe, Leeds City Council's executive member for transport and planning, said: "This is an important step towards a transport system that prioritises efficient public transport and supports all forms of travelling, making it easier and safer for people to get around the city."
The council and West Yorkshire Combined Authority will use feedback to develop plans for safer travel and more welcoming public spaces. These plans will go to further public consultation with a view to funding a scheme from the Transport for City Regions fund 2027-2032.
How to have your say
The consultation closes at 11.59pm on Tuesday 17 November.
Residents can take part by completing a short survey online, attending one of five drop-in events to see project boards and chat to the team, or requesting a paper survey.
