Christchurch City Council is continuing to push back against KiwiRail's multimillion dollar safety improvement requirement, which has forced the closure of a cycleway.
The freight transport company says a crossing on the Heathcote Expressway needs $6.5 million in safety upgrades because of the cycleway
That could take two years.
Councillor Aaron Keown told Mike Hosking he assumes they're referring to the gate systems.
He says it's odd given the path doesn't cross there but runs beside the rail line.
Keown says Mayor Phil Mauger has written to the appropriate ministers.
