Plans for the expansion of Elland Road and establishment (finally) of a tram network have been welcome news for many in the city.
But, as with every city, there are still ways that residents feel would make it an even more exciting, fun, safe and practical place to live.
We asked our loyal readers on Facebook what improvements they’d like to see in the city and received over 200 responses.
Have a look through our gallery below to see their suggestions and let us know in the comments section where you think Leeds could be improved.
1. More frequent airport buses
Anne Brown called for "a dedicated and more frequent bus connection between the airport and the city centre", which was backed by other readers. | Charlotte Graham Photo: Charlotte Graham
2. Leeds General Infirmary access
Janet Bray said: "Make it easier to get to the LGI and accessible for disabled people!!" | James Hardisty
3. More comradery
Nigel Wilkinson had a great response, saying: "I'd like to see more pride shown for the city, less litter and more comradery and care for each other. We live in a great city!!" | Leeds 10K Photo: Leeds 10K
4. Leisure pool
Chris Oates said that he feels Leeds is lacking "a proper leisure pool with waterslides etc". He wrote: "Doncaster Barnsley and Huddersfield all have them. Leeds is a bigger city but there's nothing like this." | Rushmoor Borough Council Photo: Rushmoor Borough Council
5. Grass and trees in the city centre
Though Aire Park, once completed, may go somewhere to answering her wishes, Amy Thraves-Connor said she'd like to see "grass and trees in the city centre instead of just paving over roads to make 'pedestrian' areas". | Aberfield
6. Support for the homeless
Lyndsey Seward said: "Look after the homeless people sleeping on the streets." | PA/Nick Ansell Photo: PA/Nick Ansell
