Leeds City Council has landscaping teams already on site planting hundreds of new plants, shrubs and trees in, wherever possible, the completed sections of the construction work. On completion of the A65 Quality Bus Initiative Project the landscaping will enhance and add colour to the Kirkstall Road corridor.
