Before the redevelopment, the road was two lanes in both directions, which made it easier for cyclists to use, according to Ms Huntley.
She said: “They’ve just scrapped the cycling infrastructure and they’ve not put anything in as a replacement.
“This project should not be delivered without some form of cycling infrastructure.”
Ms Huntley said the new scheme meant cyclists would be “in direct conflict with motorists” on the busy stretch of road in the centre of the resort.
She said: “Less confident cyclists and children won’t be able to use it and it will encourage drivers to close-pass.”
Torbay Council states on its website that it is “working to improve the environment so that active travel is better supported by the infrastructure in Torbay over the long term”.
Ms Huntley said: “This really does not support that view at all.”
