More than 430,000 is being spent by York Council, Cycling City York and train operator East Coast to build the cycle ramps to the north and south of the station.
The north ramp will lead into the short stay car park from Leeman Road and the south ramp will run from Lowther Terrace into the long stay car park, with additional CCTV cameras and lights being introduced to cover the new access routes.
