Looking forward to the continuation of the interactive map where people can plot suggestions for improvements to cycling, walking, and public transport infrastructure - a good example of direct democracy. @WestYorkshireCA @CityConnect1

This is good news... but please make sure it happens (with more funding!) by objecting the proposals to abandon this West Yorkshire ex-railway tunnel, which should become a cycling/walking greenway! https://t.co/MTejkIyEhT

[Rob Parsons @RobParsonsNorth]

Yorkshire's Queensbury Tunnel gets £1m from government to help 'greenway' bid

But Bradford council bosses say much more funding is needed if the tunnel is to transformed

Bring on the rapid transit system for #Leeds! This is our opportunity. @ConnectingLeeds @TheSocBiz @YLeedsuk @OurFutureLeeds @leedskeytonorth @CityConnect1

[MovingLeeds @MovingLeeds]

@ScottPoole11 Yes, but must remember this can only be done properly with nationalisation.

[MovingLeeds @MovingLeeds]

Now time to start permanently shutting streets to cars, and prioritising bicycles & pedestrians.

@alextransdev Of course!!!

🏡Working from home might have been a culture shock but for those who couldn't, you might need to commute 🚲
🚗Removing road traffic has allowed for massive reductions in congestion in & out of Leeds & provided a chance for pollution 🌬 in Leeds to greatly reduce.

Bring on #nationalisation 💪💪💪

(in a democratically-controlled, accountable, and for-the-people not profit way)

Britain's most-cancelled train revealed, and unsurprisingly it is a Northern Rail service

The worst-performing service was cancelled more than half of the time https://t.co/KoeNsucWeY

[GearingLeedsUp @GearingLeedsUp]

Good to see @Leeds_Highways investing in cycling infra on H'gate Rd / Ring Rd roundabout. However, it seems like commuters aren't using it: the extra traffic lights slow journeys; it stops suddenly; & it's partly tiled meaning it's slippery. Should be better consultations w users

[GearingLeedsUp @GearingLeedsUp]

Great to be on the @RoundhayRadio politics show, discussing GearingLeedsUp, HS2, and more!

[MovingLeeds @MovingLeeds]

I raised the issue of promoting #cycling/#walking/#rail transport over electric cars, which contribute to low-density car culture and can be environmentally harmful themselves (although obviously better than fossil fuel-powered!).

[MovingLeeds @MovingLeeds]

@urbanthoughts11 Love it!

But why is parking on here?
(Unless you're talking about removing parking)

[21st Century City @urbanthoughts11]

We should talk more about how to make cities great places to live

@IRAndyB @RAIL @martin_lowe @Ogilvie_CJ @stophs2 That's a figure plucked out of nowhere, but the benefits of NPR are still worth that.

[MovingLeeds @MovingLeeds]

#Leeds does not need #HS2. We need a modern #metro system, #cycling infra, #bus + regional transport upgrades, and #nationalisation. HS2 is wrong on so many levels. The #Tories aren't interested in what's best 4 the #north, they just want to funnel our talent to #London. @stophs2

[BBC Breaking News @BBCBreaking]

Government will give go-ahead to whole of controversial high-speed rail line HS2, BBC confirms https://t.co/o1kfLuGVv9

[MovingLeeds @MovingLeeds]

@matthewhodg @martin_lowe @Ogilvie_CJ @stophs2 @RAIL No I'm saying the SOBC isn't the same as the BC document produced for HS2, so the type of analysis isn't comparable.

[MovingLeeds @MovingLeeds]

@matthewhodg @martin_lowe @Ogilvie_CJ @stophs2 @RAIL Yes, i would refer to the SOBC at present, as the government has so far failed to committ to NPR so hasn't produced an analysis comparable to HS2's. Meanwhile, we know the business, social, and environmental case against HS2: https://t.co/PqvHbwTILe
