BRADFORD Council will seek a Possession Order later this week to evict travellers site near a new cycleway in Shipley.
The group of about eight caravans and motorhomes were still on land near the Canal Road Greenway yesterday after moving there last Friday.
A Bradford Council spokesman confirmed a Possession Order will be submitted.
Councillor Alex Ross-Shaw (Lab, Windhill and Wrose) said: "It's frustrating for the community, especially as it's public land that can't be accessed.
"We need to make sure that the land is kept accessible."
The traffic-free route between the Aire Valley and Bradford city centre was only opened to the public in April.
