The public consultation for the A6177 Cutler Heights Corridor Improvement Programme is now closed.


All feedback will be taken into consideration when finalising the plans.


The information below was presented during the public consultation.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


City of Bradford Metropolitan District Council (CBMDC), in partnership with the West Yorkshire Combined Authority, is looking to make improvements to the A6177 Cutler Heights area to reduce congestion for the benefit of all road users, cyclists and pedestrians and would like your feedback on the proposed improvements.

We would like to invite you to provide feedback on our proposal for the A6177 Cutler Heights scheme via our online survey. Before you complete the survey, it is recommended that you read the leaflet and view the plan below. Our survey is open until 11 July 2021.

The Proposal

The scheme aims to reduce traffic congestion, improve air quality and increase road safety. We want to encourage more people to use buses, walk or cycle. A key local benefit of the scheme will be improvements along Rooley Lane and Cutler Heights Lane leading into Dick Lane which will include landscaping improvements and tree planting along the corridor.

The programme also aims to improve air quality and contribute towards tackling the climate emergency.

  • For pedestrians: a safer route including the removal of the existing pedestrian underpasses at the Dudley Hill roundabout which are dated and may deter pedestrians from undertaking walking trips and the provision of new and improved fully signalised pedestrian crossing facilities as part of the redesigned junctions will increase visibility, encourage greater uptake of walking trips and potentially reduce severance.
  • For cyclists: segregated cycle lanes along sections of Rooley Lane and Cutler Heights Lane and Dick Lane to provide a link between the National Cycle Route 66 to the south and the Cycle Superhighway to the north. Included in the scheme proposals are two new bridges across Dudley Hill roundabout for pedestrians and cyclists.
  • For motorists: and bus users: reduced congestion and improved journey times.

Objectives

  • Reduce traffic congestion and journey times
  • Encourage use of sustainable modes of transport (e.g. buses, cycles, walking)
  • Improve air quality and reduce carbon emissions
  • Improve road safety
  • Assist with the delivery of new homes, extension of employment space and creation of new jobs close to the corridor
  • Enable inclusive growth through improved access to employment, education and skills opportunities.

Next steps

Subject to securing all necessary consents and funding construction work could start on the scheme in late 2022 for completion by 2024.

    Which bright spark at Bradford Council thought it appropriate to NOT put any road signage for motorists when approaching the roundabout at A650 Wakefield Road / Bowling Back Lane / Prospect Street to advise that the road suddenly narrows from 3 lanes to 2 lanes due to bollards taking the nearside lane where a cycle lane has been placed (which was not consulted on by the way). This is an accident waiting to happen for motorists using this roundabout, and I don't need to remind you how the majority of Bradfordians drive. Either improve the signage or move the bollards further down Wakefield Road where there is more time to change lanes.

    Thank you for your comments. This will be reviewed in the near future.

    Yes the traffic lights are a very good problem solver at that point of the road but may I also add that we need traffic lights at the junction further back Tyersal Lane over Dick Lane onto Broad Lane, this is a very difficult junction to get out from and confusing for a lot of drivers...

    Jacqui Clarke asked almost 3 years ago

    This is not part of this current scheme, however, this junction and signal improvement work will be undertaken in due course by Gleeson Homes as part of their planning conditions for Carrwood Park off Tyersal Lane.

    Are there plans to reduce the speed limit on Wakefield road towards the city centre as well as on Rooney lane ?

    Simon asked almost 3 years ago

    There are no plans to change the speed limits on Wakefield Road within this project.

    Please can you consider traffic lights at the junction of tyersal Lane, Broad Lane as this is a very bad junction

    Carol gayle asked almost 3 years ago

    Not part of this scheme but this will be undertaken in due course by Gleeson Homes as part of their planning conditions for Carrwood Park off Tyersal Lane.

    Could you please advise what impact the scheme will have during the works on the residents who live on the stretch of road from Dudley Hill to Holme Wood Road in Section B and Park Outside their houses in Parking Bays.

    Steve S asked almost 3 years ago

    There are currently no plans to alter the parking bays on Cutler Heights Lane between numbers 17 & 115.

    What will be the Impact to the Residents that live and Park their Cars in front of their houses, during the works, there is no mention of this in the consultation information

    Steve S asked almost 3 years ago

    During the construction phase it is likely that residents will be asked to park elsewhere for a period of time. Work will be carried out sectionally to minimise disruption.

    Why do you insist on causing more issues by reducing road size by cutting off lanes for cyclists who aren’t there, to stop congestion get better traffic management.cyclists should share foot paths as they are so few and far between on this very dangerous road and stop the few that do use it riding 2 abreast.

    Tony c asked almost 3 years ago

    At Dudley Hill, lanes are wider than before to aid HGV movement through the junction. Where lanes have been narrowed the minimum width will be 3.1m in each direction.

    What is happening to the cycle Lane down Wakefield road, will your proposal link into this?

    ZA asked almost 3 years ago

    The Wakefield Road cycle lane will remain in place. Cyclists will be able to use the Dudley Hill slip roads to transition between the two areas.

    You plan to add greenery and a cycle lane on dick lane. I currently reside at 124 behind the bus stop, the pavement is quite set back and therefore myself and my neighbours park our cars there. Will this still be an option?

    T.North asked almost 3 years ago

    There are no plans to remove the parking area in front of the houses which is surfaced in red. We will include for a means of getting to and from the carriageway.
