Help shape the surface of Auckland’s new landmark cycleway

Help shape the surface of Auckland’s new landmark cycleway

Auckland Council would like your input on the potential streetscape design of the disused Nelson Street off-ramp.
 
The off-ramp will be transformed into a new cycleway and walkway by the end of the year, forming part of the Nelson Street Cycle Route - a joint project of the New Zealand Transport Agency and Auckland Transport.
 
Councillor Chris Darby, the political urban design champion, says “This new walking and cycling route will provide speedy access into the city centre, accompanied by stunning views across the city and harbour. It will be one of the new beacons for biking in Auckland.
 
“Attractive surface finishes will make it even more distinctive and grab both local and international attention. It will add an important link to our emerging city-wide cycle network and trigger more people to walk or bike when they make their daily travel choices.”
 
Transforming the off-ramp - closed since 2006 - was one of the projects highlighted in the council’s City Centre Masterplan in 2012, and received strong support.
 
The route aligns with the shared long-term vision of the New Zealand Transport Agency, Auckland Transport and Auckland Council to build world-class cycling infrastructure that promotes cycling as a safe and convenient mode of transport.
 
Barbara Cuthbert, Cycle Action Auckland chair, says “It will be a ‘must ride’ route and loved by Auckland visitors, families, roadies, cruisers and people riding to work and shopping in town. I can see it featuring in tweets already, raising the profile yet again for cycling in Auckland.”
 
The new cycleway will begin at Upper Queen Street, travel along Canada Street and connect to the off-ramp via a new bridge that is currently under construction. The route will continue down Nelson Street, with phase two next year connecting to Quay Street. It will also connect to the north-western and Grafton Gully cycleways, providing easier and safer access to, from and within the city centre.
 
The online form asks Aucklanders how they might use the cycleway, and their preferences for the surface treatment - bold, subtle, modern, classic, fun, abstract, or incorporating words or lyrics. It takes two minutes to complete and is available on the Shape Auckland website until 22 June 2015.
 
The feedback will help shape the design, along with input from iwi and consideration of safety and technical requirements. This will be included in the off-ramp when it is opened at the end of the year.
