शुक्रवार, 23 अक्तूबर 2009
Yorkshire and Humber architects Bauman Lyons are helping make life easier - and safer - for passengers using Leeds train station.
Their £4.6 million upgrade of the Neville Street tunnel, which links the station and city centre, is funded by Leeds City Council, Yorkshire Forward and Northern Way.
Improvements in the redesigned tunnel, which extends to the Holbeck 'urban village' in the south, include widening the footpaths, reducing noise and enhancing the lighting.
Says Yorkshire Forward spokesman Jan Anderson: "Five years ago the team took a brave decision to create a very unique and innovative solution to a problem shared by many cities across the world.
"Over the last year, a number of developments in the area have proved that this was the right decision to make.
"I am truly delighted that the 'Light' Neville Street project has come to fruition, creating a fitting gateway to a 21st century city."
