Rejected petition Remove the Leeds to Bradford Cycle path as it is causing distribution to traffic

The Leeds to Bradford cycle highway has being created to allow bicycles. This creation has caused distributions to the ordinary traffic which regularly use the Stanningley By-Pass. As the cycle highway is taking a lot of road space, there is hardly any room between one vehicle and the other.

More details

Some accidents have already occurred before the open day in Spring 2016. Residents in Leeds; Bramley, Armley, Stanningley have also being complaining since the original design and plans were taken place.
