Residents' anger at plans to swap car parking for cycle lane
Despite the council announcing mitigation for blue badge holders, tradespeople and emergency service workers, the news that parking spaces will be removed to make way for the cycling infrastructure has not gone down wellA proposal which the council says would see the"front of York Station transformed to create a new and improved gateway to the city", with safe cycling infrastructure, improved pedestrian facilities and better access for bus users, has attracted objections from some...
"As this project has progressed it has become increasingly clear that residents are very much on the lowest rung of the stakeholder ladder. The railway institute LNER has kept its parking spaces. The York Cycling Campaign has got its dedicated cycle lane. Access is uninterrupted to the Premier Inn. The bus stop and the taxi rank are retained. The residents get nothing."
Explaining the decision to remove the parking, James Gilchrist, the council's director of environment transport and planning was keen to point out the proposal went to a safety audit that"concluded that we should remove the parking because there was a conflict between the segregated cycle route and the residents parking".
> Subsidise bike hangar costs by raising car parking charges, says councillor – but opponent warns move would"pit drivers against cyclists"According to opponents of the proposed cycle lane on the city's Merrion Square, the protected infrastructure's installation will"eliminate the artists" who park nearby, and lead to the"death of a very special tradition".We’ve noticed you’re using an ad blocker.
