Residents living in parts of Kirkstall are being asked to comment on proposals for double yellow lines on a n umber of streets.
Posted on social media, Councillor Hannah Bithell (Lab, Kirkstall) said she was delighted with the new ward wide traffic regulation order she been working on for 18 months and urged local residents to have their say.
Cllr Bithell said: “There are a finite number of these schemes available across the city due to funding and to get one, you must have enough schemes needed. I collated all the complaints about roads and worked with highways to pull together 19 different schemes across the ward based on residents’ comments
“Obviously, we want these to be the right schemes, so we are welcoming feedback, please email any you have to Hannah.Bithell@Leeds.gov.uk. Please be aware this isn’t the only bite at the cherry, so while we can’t add more sites to this specific TRO – because of changes to legislation we will be able to do this more often in the future.”
Sites affected include:
- Double yellows on Kirkstall Road in the cycle lane by Woodrups Cycles
- Double yellows on Cardigan Lane to protect the entrance to Abbots Mews
- Double yellows on the entrance to Abbeydale Oval to protect sight lines
- Double yellows on junctions in Burley to protect sight lines for heavy parking levels on match days (and more generally)
- Double yellows on Commercial Road to protect cycle lane and entrance to Savins Mill Way
- Double yellows on Greenhow Road to protect junctions and traffic calming measures
- Double yellows on Hesketh Mount and Morris Lane to protect junction
- Double yellows on junctions off Hesketh Road to allow for more reliable refuse collections
- Double yellows on junctions of Station Parade, Glebe Avenue and Glebe Place
- Double yellows on Vesper Riad to protect Monkswood entrance
- Double yellows on Norman Street and junctions of roads off to allow for more reliable refuse collections
- Double yellows on Old Oak Drive and junction of Old Oak Garth
- Double yellows on Queenswood Drive to ensure buses are able to pass effectively on match nights
- Double yellows on junctions off St Anne’s Drive to protect sight lines
- Double yellows on Vinery road to allow for more reliable refuse collections
- Double yellows on Woodbridges to extend the site lines of the small ones that were installed and weren’t effective and to protect some garages that are regularly blocked
People living on the streets affected have been contacted by Leeds City Council for their thoughts on the proposals.
