Future Development
Planning permission has been given for a new line of the Park and Ride scheme, extending from Poppleton Bar with a 1,250 space capacity. The plan has attracted opposition from local residents, due to its use of a small section of farmland designated as a 'village green' in Poppleton. The council has insisted that this will be offset with a community facility. Construction is set to begin in early 2013 in two phases, offering a 600 space capacity initially.
York council also has plans to extend the Askham Bar site to increase overall capacity as part of its £22 million 'Access York' scheme.

Famous quotes containing the words future and/or development:
“The circuited city of the future will not be the huge hunk of concentrated real estate created by the railway. It will take on a totally new meaning under conditions of very rapid movement. It will be an information megalopolis.”
—Marshall McLuhan (1911–1980)
“The development of civilization and industry in general has always shown itself so active in the destruction of forests that everything that has been done for their conservation and production is completely insignificant in comparison.”
—Karl Marx (1818–1883)
