As part of the improvements, a new raised zebra crossing is to be placed on Grove Lane in Headingley.
In their letter to constituents, the councillors say the crossing, which will have LED Belisha beacons, will “connect the Meanwood Valley Trail, helping children, older residents and those with mobility issues along the busy route”.
Joanne uses the trail in Headingley around four times a day to walk her cocker spaniel, Milo.
Familiar with navigating the busy Grove Lane, the 42-year-old thinks a pelican crossing would be more appropriate because of the speeds of drivers.
She would also like to see improved lighting.
“We do not need much, as we do not want to disturb the wildlife, but at night time it is pitch black,” she said.
