Yes No Does the report contain confidential or exempt information? Yes No If relevant, access to information procedure rule number: Appendix number: Summary of main issues 1. This report addresses the Deputation received at the Full Council meeting held on 12th September 2018 from the West Park Residents who raised concerns about initial scheme proposals for the A660 and their impact on the local area, and particularly the proposed changes to the A660/A6120 Lawnswood Roundabout. 2. Specific issues raised by the Deputation were: a. Concern for additional delays, congestion, pollution and increased risk of traffic collisions at Lawnswood roundabout and other junctions along Otley Road; b. No proposals for a traffic-light controlled roundabout; c. Changes along the A660 bus corridor; d. Release of data and simulation models uses to support the scheme. 3. In July 2018 the Executive Board granted further approval to the progression of key elements in the £173.5 million package of proposals for investing in the public transport network as part of the Connecting Leeds Programme. This package features new and enhanced Park & Ride services, and authorised further work on the integrated bus measures along five key bus corridors and modernised transport hubs across the city previously identified when the programme was first approved.

  • The Leeds Trolley Vehicle System Order Business Case Leeds NGT: Business Case Review January 2014
    Transport and TWAO Document Ref. C-1 Works Act 1992 The Leeds Trolley Vehicle System Order Business Case Leeds NGT: Business Case Review January 2014 Leeds NGT – Business Case Review Executive Summary The Leeds New Generation Transport (NGT) project will be a 14.8km trolleybus network with lines to: I Holt Park (North Line) I Stourton (South Line) The scheme includes Park & Ride sites on the North Line at Bodington and at the South Line terminus at Stourton. NGT will provide a high quality, highly segregated, rapid transit service with high capacity, greater punctuality and faster journey times than bus services. It will significantly improve the quality of public transport in Leeds and provide an attractive alternative to private car travel. NGT is being jointly promoted by the West Yorkshire Passenger Transport Executive (Metro) and Leeds City Council (LCC). It will open to passengers in early 2020. On award of Programme Entry to the NGT Project, DfT committed capital funding of £173.5 million towards the investment cost of the trolleybus solution as specified in the funding approval. The Promoters will contribute further to this. This document fulfils DfT’s requirements for a Business Case submission. It sets out NGT’s: I Strategic Case I Economic Case I Financial Case I Commercial Case I Management Case The Strategic Case sets out the scheme context and includes a description of the problems and issues which NGT will help to resolve. It sets out the scheme objectives and describes how the Preferred Option was developed. The Strategic Case demonstrates that NGT will make a strong contribution to meeting national, regional and local policy objectives.

  • The Case for Better Transport Investment: Agglomeration and Growth in the Leeds City Region
    The case for better transport investment: Agglomeration and growth in the Leeds City Region Adam Marshall and Chris Webber Summary • Trams, commuter rail services, better road junctions, more buses: every city has a long, and mostly unfulfilled, ‘wish list’ of major transport projects. But at a time when financial resources are limited,how can our cities and regions prioritise transport needs – and make intelligent investments that boost their economic competitiveness? • Using case studies in the Leeds City Region, this report shows the scale of the ‘hidden’ economic benefits – known as agglomeration benefits – that transport schemes can deliver in Britain’s major cities. Our new analysis shows that up to 25% of the potential benefits of major transport investments in Leeds currently go un-counted by the Department for Transport. Including these benefits in transport proposals and plans would make the case for investment in the Leeds City Region stronger than ever. • Adding up agglomeration benefits could also radically improve the economic case for transport investment in cities across the UK – especially when new schemes deliver faster and better access to job-rich city centres. The evidence presented in this report suggests that targeted improvements to urban transport networks could add tens of millions of pounds to a city’s economic ‘bottom line’ each year. • In the wake of the Eddington Transport Study, the Comprehensive Spending Review, and the Government’s renewed drive to improve regional economic performance, it is more critical than ever to count these ‘hidden’ benefits – and ensure that cities get the transport investment needed to fulfil their potential.

  • Report of Director of City Development Report to Executive Board Date
    Report author: Paul Foster Tel: 0113 3787518 Report of Director of City Development Report to Executive Board Date: 14 December 2016 Subject: Transport Conversation update and Leeds Public Transport Investment Programme Are specific electoral Wards affected? Yes No If relevant, name(s) of Ward(s): All Are there implications for equality and diversity and cohesion and Yes No integration? Is the decision eligible for Call-In? Yes No Does the report contain confidential or exempt information? Yes No Summary of main issues 1. Leeds is a growing and successful city. In the city centre there has been extensive development in recent years, reinforcing the city’s position as a major retail and office location. In addition, outside of the city centre, key economic centres such as Thorpe Park, Leeds Bradford Airport and White Rose Centre continue to expand. The growth of Leeds’ economy is crucial to helping achieve better economic outcomes across the region and the North. 2. Alongside the planned housing growth that is required in future years, it means significant investment in the transport system is needed in the short, medium and long term to support the level of growth anticipated. Our vision is for Leeds to be a compassionate, caring city with a transport system that helps all our residents benefit from the city’s economic growth. 3. Getting our transport system right is a critical element of achieving the Council’s Best City ambition. Accordingly the emerging Leeds Transport Strategy presented to Executive Board in October 2015 is being updated to reflect further development towards the realisation of our best city ambition for a strong economy in a compassionate city.

  • Leedstransport - Scheme Summary
    TRANSPORT IN LEEDS: JOIN THE CONVERSATION ON THE FUTURE OF TRANSPORT IN OUR CITY #LeedsTransport - Scheme Summary Park and Ride Improvements: Park & Ride is an important element of the emerging Transport Strategy for Leeds. Park & Ride is good for the city economy and the environment as it reduces parking in the city centre and also helps to reduce congestion and improve the city’s air quality by reducing the number of cars entering the city centre. The Elland Road Park and Ride, delivered in partnership with WYCA, is already proving very popular, with a second phase implemented creating a total of 800 spaces and a temporary overflow of an additional 60 spaces and is currently averaging 4000 parked cars per week and considering a further expansion of an additional 250- 300 spaces. Temple Green - A further 1000 spaces has now opened at Temple Green in the Aire Valley Enterprise Zone, this is already seeing success with on average 2500 parked cars per week. Building on the success of these first two Park and rides with nearly 2000 spaces provided, a further 2000 more Park and ride spaces are to be created with a new site opening at Stourton Park and Ride in 2019 and the exploration of a North of City Park and Ride site.
