Te Atatu candidate Vincent Naidu: Bike Pledge

Vincent Naidu

If elected to represent Te Atatu, I, Vincent Naidu, pledge:

 

 

I believe people of all ages should feel able to bike safely to get around. Auckland needs more climate-friendly transport to ensure a sustainable and resilient Tāmaki Makaurau Auckland, protecting our environment and communities for future generations. If elected, I commit to making a safe, connected cycle network a priority.

 

 

Comments

An integrated public transport system with feeder links to transport hubs to reduce travel time and at capped fare. Well maintained streets and pathways for drivers and walkers, especially elderly, people with special needs and disabilities.

 

Detailed commitments

 

    • Skip – I support increasing cycling and walking’s share of the transport budget to the UN-recommended 20%.
    • Partially agree – I support building cycleways to connect Auckland and fill existing gaps, including crossing the Harbour.
    • Agree – I believe cycleways can be delivered affordably and quickly.
    • Agree – I support connecting neighbourhoods to major cycleways, destinations like schools and workplaces, and transport hubs through supportive Local Board funding.
    • Partially agree – I support calming traffic around schools and residential areas to create people-friendly spaces.
    • Agree – I will work to ensure new Safety Plans are in place quickly so children and adults can walk and bike safely.
