The department said the report found removing the crossing would overload others in the area
A "courtesy crossing" on Guernsey's seafront is inappropriate but its removal "cannot be recommended", an engineering report has found.
The southbound road between Albert and Crown Piers was cut to one lane over safety concerns about the crossing.
However, traffic congestion protests led to this decision being reversed.
The lack of a single clear solution means plans to return the southbound road to two lanes have been postponed until 23 August.
The Environment Department has not released the report, but has stated its findings:
With two lanes of southbound traffic the crossing cannot meet design standards and it would be inappropriate to keep the informal crossing
It cannot recommend the removal of the crossing as this could overload other crossings, encourage pedestrians to cross at will and could further disrupt traffic flow
The Environment Department spokesman said the report would only be released to the media once it had been passed on to the Seafront Working Party, which would be asked to rule on the future of the crossing.
He said a long-term solution may involve a review of all crossings with signals along the Quay. But the department was "mindful of the desire for changes in the short term".
