Further design changes to Harewood Rd cycleway?

Today’s Nor’West News reports that further design changes may be made to the Wheels to Wings Papanui ki Waiwhetū Major Cycle Route, including around the Mitre 10 driveway and also routing the cycleway on the park side of the trees on the northern side of Nunweek Park – a move that would allow an increase in car parking in the area. The Hearings Panel’s recommendations will be considered by the Council next month and a final decision is expected at that time.

Hearings Panel approves Wheels to Wings cycleway

The Wheels to Wings – Papanui ki Waiwhetū cycleway was approved by a Council Hearings Panel today.

“The Hearings Panel was particularly impressed by the time and effort that a group of submitters put into developing their own alternate design scheme. We did seriously consider this alternate option but an independent review has raised significant safety concerns with it.

“After considering all the submissions and seeking additional information from staff, the Hearings Panel is recommending the Council approve the revised design scheme, with some changes.” says Mayor Dalziel.

The Hearings Panel’s full recommendations will be published online next week and a final decision is expected from the Council in May.
