Furious residents in a York street will have their parking taken away to make room for cycle lanes as part of the York Station Gateway scheme.
Coun Claire Douglas, the leader of the City of York Council, approved the removal of Queen Street residents’ parking on safety grounds to permit the installation of segregated cycle lanes and a wider pedestrian footway on Thursday, October 19. However, those living at Queen Street are furious with the decision. One resident, Peter Chilman, said: “The restrictions will severely affect the ability to use my car, to receive deliveries and to engage tradespeople to work on my house.
” Mark Harris said: “Delivery drivers, people from Amazon, takeaways, whatever – they’re still going to stop on those roads. “Now what that actually means is an unplanned hazard is far more dangerous than a planned one.” He continued to say: “Throughout the UK there’s an average of 13 per cent put on included for on and off street parking, removing that is having a detrimental financial effect for every householder in that street.
