Ngāti Whātua Ōrākei led enthusiastic bike advocates and others in a karakia tikanga, blessing, on the recently opened Great North Road cycleway this week.
We enjoyed a stunning sunrise for this beautiful moment. As we’ve previously mentioned, it’s been a very long time coming, and we are savouring how special it is.

Survey on repair of high friction surfacing
Auckland Transport have shared that the high‑friction surfacing on Great North Road has now been repaired. They would like to hear about your experience during construction.
Parking management
Auckland Transport also shared the outcome of their parking management review. Based on what they heard from stakeholders including residents, businesses, and others, they have made some changes to the original proposal and are now formalising these updates.
They expect the new signage and pay machines to be in place within the next three months.
