A consultation on the detailed designs for Harrogate Station Gateway starts today, 18th October 2021, and runs until 12th November 2021.

Plan A shows Cheltenham Parade, Station Parade (north), and Bower Road. The cycling plans include:
Plan B shows Station Parade (central and south), Station Square, Station Bridge, and East Parade (south). The cycling plans include:

Plans for cycle tracks on East Parade have been dropped, on the basis
that they can't be built within the timeframe, and it would increase
traffic disruption caused by the works.
The width of the cycle tracks is not specified. They should be at least the Desirable Minimums specified in Cycle Infrastructure Design guidance.
The segregated cycle tracks dissolve into shared use areas at major junctions on Station Parade including:
