Green councillors are calling on Bradford Council to abandon plans for a £139m Saltaire bypass.
They believe the proposals will have a massive impact on the Saltaire and Leeds-Liverpool Canal Conservation Areas and that it will leave the village with two busy roads rather than one.
The blueprints were given their first public outing last month amid opposition from residents who said they were concerned about the environmental impact and the potential for increased traffic.
A preliminary route for the bypass includes tunnels beneath Shipley town centre and Saltaire.
The plan is to create a more integrated transport system in Airedale.
The bypass could be constructed within ten years.
It links in with plans to scrap Saltaire roundabout and replace it with a traffic light-controlled junction at a cost of £2.6 million.
A motion put forward by Councillor Kevin Warnes (Green, Shipley) will be discussed at Tuesday's full council meeting.
