Sheffield City Council is proposing changes on and around A61 Chesterfield Road that will improve bus journeys, tackle congestion and enhance facilities for cyclists and pedestrians.
We would like to hear your views on these proposals which include a range of measures between Meadowhead roundabout and Broadfield Road, Heeley.
On this page you will find a project brochure, copies of our exhibition boards and a feedback form for you to share your views.
Why do we need to make changes?
Frequent congestion at key sections of the A61, particularly around Meadowhead and Woodseats, results in significant delays to bus journeys. This makes buses a less attractive option for many.
Another issue is the quality of bus stops and shelters along the route, which would benefit from an upgrade and the addition of new technology.
The safety of pedestrians and cyclists using the route is something else which we are keen to improve.
And by tackling high levels of congestion, we can also raise the air quality for the benefit of everyone living, working or travelling in the area.
What changes are proposed?
We will introduce a range of measures to improve bus journeys along the A61 corridor between Meadowhead roundabout and Broadfield Road in Heeley.
We plan to:
Improve crossings for pedestrians and cyclists
Infill the Meadowhead roundabout subway and add a surface-level controlled crossing
Relocate bus stops to improve access
Modernise traffic signals to give buses priority
Extend bus lanes and modify their operating hours
Upgrade bus stops to include shelters and real-time service information
Introduce traffic management measures in Woodseats to reduce congestion
Improve cycle connections from Woodseats to the Sheaf Valley Cycle Route
What benefits will the changes bring?
Our proposals aim to:
Make sustainable forms of transport, such as buses, walking and cycling, more attractive
Improve reliability and the overall experience of bus travel
Tackle congestion in the area
Reduce air and noise pollution
Improve safety for pedestrians and cyclists
