Way safer cycling<br />

We’re making it easier and safer<br />

for people to cycle.<br />

We’ve received Government funding to improve<br />

cycling connections to link neighbourhoods,<br />

schools, work, shops and existing cycle routes.<br />

We’re also improving pedestrian safety<br />

with a raised pedestrian crossing and<br />

signalised crossings.<br />

Here’s some of what’s proposed<br />

RI<br />

Barrington<br />

We’re proposing a route along Simeon<br />

Street to improve connections to the<br />

Little River Link cycleway that runs<br />

alongside the <strong>Southern</strong> Motorway,<br />

Quarryman’s Trail and Barrington<br />

Shopping Centre.<br />

Aidanfield<br />

We’re proposing a sealed shared path<br />

through Nash Reserve to connect<br />

the Little River Link cycleway to Date<br />

Crescent, via the <strong>Southern</strong> Motorway<br />

Heathcote River underpass.<br />

We’re also proposing to improve<br />

cycling connections around Ngā Puna<br />

Wai by creating a sealed shared path<br />

that connects to Wigram Road and<br />

the Little River Link cycleway via the<br />

Hayton Road underpass.<br />

<br />

Westmorland<br />

We’re proposing a dedicated<br />

cycleway along both sides of<br />

Cashmere Road, between Oderings<br />

and Hoon Hay Road. From Oderings<br />

to Penruddock Rise, we are<br />

investigating installing a shared<br />

path cycleway.<br />

To improve pedestrian safety,<br />

we propose to install pedestrian<br />

crossings with safe speed platforms<br />

at the intersections of Cashmere<br />

Road and Penruddock Rise, and<br />

Cashmere Road and Opihi Street.<br />

Safe speed platforms help to lower<br />

speed at the approach to the<br />

intersection so drivers can stop in<br />

time if they need to.<br />

We’re also proposing a pedestrian<br />

crossing with a safe speed platform<br />

outside Oderings Garden Centre.<br />
