Overview

• Bike Auckland cycling concerns
• Auckland cycling context
• Background - EWL - Auckland RON’s
• EWL cycling design
• Side agreement on cycling

Bike Auckland cycling opposition to EWL

• Bike Auckland (BA) opposed the East West

project because of:

• Severance of the harbour frontage
• Opportunity cost of replicated cycling facilities
• Major lack of connections to local cycling

networks

• Inadequate separation between walk and cycle

elements

• Poor design to cater for commuting and

recreational cycling needs

Auckland Cycling Context

• 2015 – 2018 Urban Cycle Programme

investment major boost to uptake

• New projects concentrated on City Centre for

employment and tourism benefits

• City Centre focus of public transport
• Local Boards investing – Orakei, Mangere

Future Streets

• Future investment to extend to suburban

centres and public transport nodes

Leadership from Local Boards

EWL cycling design

• Sector 1 Orpheus Dr shared paths – lacks walk- bike

separation

• Sector 2 Onehunga Mall/ train station shared path – lacks

walk and bike separation

• Sector 3 & 4 – Upgraded 4km waterfront cycleway replaces

Waikaraka Cycleway. Inadequate local links

• Sector 5 – Panama Bridge – shared path on lacks walk/bike

separation

• Sector 6 – Otahuhu Ck – lacks greenways and local school links
• Sector 7 – Otahuhu Interchange – Princes St lacks protection

for walkers and bikes

• Sectors 1-7 – detailed design input required for Bike Auckland

NZTA- Bike Auckland side agreement

• Sector 1 – Orpheus Dr – separation for walk/bike except for

few constrained width areas

• Sector 2 – Onehunga Mall/train station – separated walk/

bike/ vehicles

• Sector 3 – 4 – Hugo Johnstone Drive separated cycleway,

extended link for Alfred St and Ameti- Sylvia Park

Greenways to be left to later ‘best endevours’

• Sector 7 – Otahuhu Interchange – Frank Grey Place –

improved physical protection for walkers/bikes

• Sectors 1-7 – agreement on detailed design input from BA

Outstanding cycling links
