As part of decisions made in June 2021 on the Long-term Plan 2021–2031, Councillors agreed to invest $226 million in a safe, connected bike network for the city.
They requested a new plan for how the network could be developed and changes made quickly – to make things safer and easier for more people of all ages and abilities to bike (or scoot), and reduce transport carbon emissions as part of Te Atakura, the city’s climate action plan.
Paneke Pōneke updates the 2015 Cycleways Masterplan with much more detail showing the streets that are included in the network and how it will be built.
Following consultation in late 2021, and in response to feedback we received, we've made changes to the bike network plan. The revised plan was approved on 10 March 2022 by Purōrō Āmua, the Planning and Environment Committee. You can see the changes made following consultation in the responses to submissions report.
