A6177 Cutler Heights Corridor Improvement Programme

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.
