Paul Raeburn says the new path on Milton Road, Cambridge is made narrower by telegraph posts.
Mr Raeburn said: "We've got lot of elderly residents in the area and if they are disabled, or they are in a wheelchair, or they have another person helping them to walk along there, they need to be able to get past the obstacles of the street furniture that's in place."
He said they can only do so by going into the adjacent cycle path, which is nearly 2m wide , or into residents' gardens.Mr Porter, the scheme's project manager, said: "We are aware that this section is too tight and we're going to rectify it."He added the GCP designed its scheme within "the constraints of the highway and the highway boundary" and had moved some of the "particularly obstructive" bits of street furniture already.
However utility boxes, which Mr Raeburn was also concerned about, would remain on the path for pedestrians. "To move all of these for the sake of a couple of hundred millimetres throughout the entire length of the scheme is just not a feasible prospect," he said.
