Glen Innes Walking and Cycling Improvements

Introduction | Project status | Consultation | Preferred proposal

Introduction

Auckland City Council wants to develop convenient, safe and attractive transport routes for walkers, cyclists and drivers. These will encourage more people to cycle or walk to key destinations, such as shops, schools or the train station, or simply for fun and exercise.

Better facilities also help reduce our dependence on private cars by making it easier to use public transport, walk, cycle or car pool.

Promoting cycling and walking

Providing better facilities for pedestrians and cyclists:

• increases travel choice
• helps improve neighbourhoods and supports a better sense of community
• raises road safety awareness
• improves traffic flow and reduces air pollution
• helps to manage increases in travel demand from growing populations
• makes it easier for people to get around.
