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.
