What impact will the NGT Scheme have on pedestrian facilities on the routes?
The scheme aims to improve pedestrian facilities overall, particularly in conjunction with NGT stops. We are also working hard to ensure the entire network delivers better connectivity and enhanced pedestrian links. In some areas however there may be a need to alter footways to accommodate the overhead line poles and the provision of segregated NGT lanes. The scheme will also provide a number of localised improvements for pedestrians. Enhancements to pedestrian facilities are currently proposed at the following points along the routes: • Whitfield Square on the South Route. The whole area could be revitalised with the introduction of an NGT stop, new paving, street furniture soft landscaping. • Introduction of pedestrianised/plaza areas in the following locations: • Outside the Parkinson Building at the University Stop • At the St Chad’s stop at the junction of Weetwood Lane, • On Wood Lane to connect the Headingley Centre stop with Otley Road • At the St James’s hospital stop on Becke
