The Park Hill plan aimed to improve parking around Sheffield station by introducing a permit scheme.
A Sheffield parking zone has been reduced in size after the plans attracted thousands of complaints.
The Park Hill plan aimed to improve the parking situation around the city's station by introducing a permit scheme. More than 900 people objected claiming it was not necessary and expressing fears about the cost of permits and the lack of guaranteed spots for residents.In its proposals, the council said that some drivers currently parked on "the footway or on both sides of narrow roads".
"This can obstruct people, especially those using wheelchairs or with pushchairs, can damage pipes and cables buried in the footway and block access for larger vehicles such as a fire engine or delivery lorry," the report said.The planned bays would have been completely on the road with enough space for vehicles to pass, causing a reduction in the current number of on-street parking spaces.
Council officers said further consultation was needed and, if approved by the transport committee next week, the zone could be created this autumn.Follow BBC Yorkshire on
