Campaigners have urged the council to open cycle lanes outside York’s railway station as the main pedestrian crossing has been “completed for weeks”.
The lanes are currently cordoned off with plastic barriers, meaning cyclists are sharing the narrowed road with buses and cars.
City of York Council said it is “grateful for everyone’s continued patience” and that paving works have sometimes blocked the footpath, “diverting pedestrians into the cycle lane”.
“Once this stage is complete, it will be safe to begin a phased opening of the cycle routes,” a spokesperson said.
Robyn Jankel, from York Cycle Campaign, said it was “dangerous” and “scary” cycling to the railway station.
“We’re sharing the road with a lot of motorised vehicles including buses, including emergency vehicles, and people are impatient because they want to get their train.
“It’s not a safe part of town to be on your bike without cycle lanes there, and the longer they’re out of use, the more dangerous it is.”
