Apparently most creationists have now also abandoned the belief that these were human footprints. See the afterword in the following article by an expert who has studied the site and believes they are dinosaur footprints.

Not all creationists share that view:
"Although undoubtedly tempting, the finding of indisputable human footprints synchronous with dinosaur tracks remains an elusive quest. Furthermore, it could be potentially harmful if track finds are not properly dealt with, as has previously happened (see the Paluxy River controversy). I appreciate the way the discoverers of the ichnofossils in the Tumbler Ridge area handled their finds. It was obvious from the pictures they sent to AiG-Canada that they believed they had found human footprints. As enthusiastic Christians and strong believers in the historical narrative of Genesis, they could have broadcast their discoveries to support their position, but they requested a professional investigation before making any announcement. Although my assessment did not confirm their initial suggestion, they not only accepted the verdict against human ‘authorship’ but also actively promoted it and now use their new experience to better educate Christians during their frequent field trips to the sites."

"Darwin was acutely aware of the imperfections of the fossil record", so it's not surprising that dinosaur/human footprints or other evidence of co-existence have not yet been found in an imperfect fossil record. This creationist prediction awaits fulfilment.
