If elected to represent Waitakere Ranges, I, Mark Allen, 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
A large part of the Waitakere Ranges local board area is rural and needs better public transport, transport for bikes and more local paths to connect our coastal, foothills and bush communities with our cycle and rail network.
Detailed commitments
- Partially agree – I support increasing cycling and walking’s share of the transport budget to the UN-recommended 20%.
