@leedsplussocial: The council might put a stop to the 1,100 bikes that ride up Briggate in Leeds every day. A new ‘Action Plan’ for the city’s main high streets could mean cyclists, including heavy delivery bike riders, are forced to get off and walk with their bikes instead. It’s all part of a set of new proposals to make some of Leeds city centre’s busiest areas safer and more enjoyable for pedestrians. Roads like Albion Place, Albion Street and Commercial Street would be included in the new cycling rules too - and there’d be limits to the number of mobile street traders (‘pedlars’) allowed on Briggate. The hours that certain vehicles are allowed on Briggate would also be further restricted - to before 10am and after 8pm. The council says Briggate in Leeds city centre has a weekly footfall of 250,000 - and is hoping to launch a public consultation soon on ways to make it safer. The idea will be discussed by the Executive Board of senior councillors next week. #leeds #leedscitycentre #leedsnews #leedsfood
