Mayor Tracy Brabin has officially launched a public consultation over plans to bring a tram system to West Yorkshire.
Detailed proposed routes for the first of a West Yorkshire mass transit system were confirmed as part of an event held in Leeds city centre this morning. Phase one of the mass transit network aims to connect St James’ Hospital with south Leeds, with another line running between Bradford and Leeds city centres. People are being invited to have their say on a choice of proposed route options as part of a public consultation, launching today and running until September 30.
Coun James Lewis, Leader of Leeds City Council, said: “This time is different because we know a lot of our infrastructure is absolutely up to capacity. “The tram will give us a faster, more frequent mode of transport and we have the full support of Mayor Brabin.” Today marks the start of a public consultation in which people will be asked for their views on a series of possible route options across the Leeds Line and the Bradford Line.
