Consultations on proposed pedestrian and cyclist crossings in Elland and West Vale
Consultations are taking place for pedestrian and cyclist crossings relating to the Elland Access Package.
The proposed order includes details for five crossing, including both toucan and parallel zebra crossings.
Toucan crossings allow both pedestrians and cyclists to cross at the same time.
Parallel crossings are similar to zebra crossings, but include a cycle route alongside the black and white stripes.
Calderdale Next Chapter shared: "We are consulting on a crossing order for upgrades to pedestrian and cyclist crossings, and the installation of new ones."
The proposed toucan crossings include:
- An upgrade to the crossing at Elland Riorges Link in Elland, south-west of the junction with Elland Lane.
- On Stainland Road, West Vale, north of its junction with Church Street.
- On Park Road, Elland, south-west of the junction with Exley Lane.
The proposed parallel zebra crossings include:
- An upgrade to the crossing on Rochdale Road in West Vale, north-west of the junction with Fox Court.
- Jubilee Way in Elland, west of the junction with Wistons Lane.
The proposals are part of the wider Elland Access Package.
Work is taking place at Elland and West Vale to improve walking and cycling access to the new Elland Rail Station with the creation of new bridges over the River Calder and Calder Hebble Navigation.
