With great pleasure, we can finally reveal more about a project that we have been working on with NZTA over the last 2 years: the extension of the Northwestern Cycleway through Spaghetti Junction, down Grafton Gully, to the university areas and Beach Road.
Book your space now for CAA’s May public meeting to hear speakers from NZTA, Council and Auckland Transport present the scheme design. It’s time to celebrate that the project is ranked as the #1 (New Zealand-wide) cycling project in the coming 3 year National Land Transport Programme.
Detailed design of this key link will begin when the financial year rolls over in July – and actual construction (the first earthworks) will start in spring later this year.
During our meeting, you will be shown the route chosen for the cycleway extension, and also get a glimpse of how other Council cycle projects in the area could tie into it in the coming years. The Northwestern links the western suburbs of Auckland to the Waterfront (and will soon also pass the Symonds St university area as well as Auckland Hospital and the Domain), so we know there will be lots of ideas about how to extend the benefits of the project across the city – so bring your ideas to the meeting.
We’ve heard a lot about completing the motorway network – this is your chance to support the completion of our first ‘Cycling Superhighway’ !
