The Ngāpipi bridge widening has been completed allowing for a stunning bike ride along the waterfront in a dedicated safe space from Ngāpipi road all the way to the City Centre! This is the full realisation of our vision for a bike-friendly Tāmaki Drive – fiercely advocated for as the “Bike Akl Quality Option”. The next step should be to extend the dedicated cycleway along the rest of Tāmaki Drive, delivering on the 2013 Tāmaki Drive Masterplan. The existing shared paths too narrow for how popular they are, and scored very low for accessibility. A protected cycleway all along Tāmaki Drive would enable access for a wider range of cycles to travel this route, while keeping the footpaths free for people walking and using mobility aids.
