Every year, Cycle Action’s committee members, associates and friends put in many thousands of hours of volunteer work. Every year, we make an effort to capture at least a good cross-section of the work in the form of a list of projects.
And every year, the list keeps growing, this time to almost 140 entries, as you can read up on below.
And the list isn’t even exhaustive. Some items might represent a submission put together on a Friday afternoon in half an hour, racing against a deadline – others many days of work by numerous people, from going out collecting signatures for a cycling-friendly Te Atatu Road, to having hard conversations with authorities to fix issues, to organising events like the recent Cycle Summit.
Many thanks to all who have been involved in one of these projects, whether by leading them, by sending in a submission, or in any other shape and form. Cycling is growing, and you are it.
Note: The list is sorted by area of Auckland (and now shows the correct areas too 😉 )
