A petition to "fix" a cycling corridor at Howard Smith Wharves that leads pedestrians to a wall and forces them to join a path near a blind corner has been rejected by Brisbane City Council.

More than 600 signatures were submitted last year as part of a petition to fix the gravel-type path, tight bends and shared pathway that encouraged pedestrians to step onto the cycling lane from a blind corner.

Petitioners called on Brisbane City Council to have Howard Smith Wharves replace the path with concrete and introduce straight bends and a segregated path.

Brisbane City Council responded on Thursday with a statement that said the path had since been resurfaced with asphalt concrete as it was "unfit for purpose".

However, there were no plans to change the cycling and walking path.

"The path...was found to be the most practically achievable alignment that balanced anticipated pedestrian movements and cyclist movements," the statement read.

"The path also corresponds to the broader access easements planned for the site.

"During the project assessment process, Council considered the provision of a fully segregated bicycle and pedestrian path, and decided it was not achievable due to the constraints of the site."

Council said there were no plans to install a separate bicycle and pedestrian path.

Brisbane CBD Bicycle User Group co-convenor Paul French said he was disappointed with the outcome.

"It seems like developers can do what they like and the community just has to bear the brunt of the decision," he said.

Mr French said it was a shame there was an endless "shopping list of issues" around a vital corridor for the community, including bollards and speed ramps placed in unsafe and inconvenient areas.

"There just seems to be no regard at all for pedestrians and cyclists. It’s an absolute mess," he said.

"It's only a matter of time until someone gets seriously hurt there.

"The majority of people are responsible but pedestrians can get a shock if cyclists are going past and it could feel like a near-miss for them.

"[Having cyclists and pedestrians sharing a path] is just an unsafe feeling – it puts people on edge and takes away the enjoyment out of it."

Mr French said the group would continue to fight to fix the path.
