St Leonard's Place, approaching the junction with Bootham and Gillygate. Ccouncil transport bosses have recommended against removing a lane of traffic
York Civic Trust has urged council bosses to defer a decision on reorganising a notorious city centre road junction.
City transport bosses last week recommended against removing a lane of traffic from St Leonard’s Place as it approaches the Bootham/ Gillygate junction and creating an extra pedestrian crossing.
Instead, they said the council should go ahead with a simpler scheme, which would see traffic lights at the junction upgraded and crossings widened.
The two proposals were the subject of a major consultation. The council received more than 1,200 responses, of which almost half were in favour of the simpler scheme, while a third supported the more expensive scheme which would involve removing a lane of traffic.
