Anderson, who runs the Calisa coffee shop on Childwall Priory Road, said he was “shocked” upon hearing the proposal.
“We hadn’t heard anything beforehand, these plans were just thrown at us, it’s all a little slapdash,” he said.
The business owner say he relies on delivery vans parking outside his shop to unload – but the plans would forbid parking on the road outside and instead revert back to a two-way system.
Anderson wants to see the area deliver “better and safer” travel routes for everybody, not just cyclists, pointing to the amount of elderly and disabled people in the area.
In response, city councillor Barrington added: “The proposed scheme aims to make our roads safer and easier to use for people walking, wheeling and cycling.
“Active travel brings real health benefits, and we want to give everyone more choice in how they move around the city.”
