We're making changes for people on foot and on bikes
This section of the route goes along Oriental Parade from Carlton Gore Road and along Evans Bay Parade as far as Greta Point. The paths, seawalls and landscaping from Oriental Bay to Little Karaka Bay, and Weka Bay to Greta Point, are now complete.
Construction on the remaining section between Little Karaka and Weka bays starts in April 2023. The construction, which includes work on seawalls, will take about 18 months. When this work is complete, the last of the on-road bike lanes will be removed and people riding here will no longer have to transition between the bike path and road.
- The two-way bike path will be between the footpath and the road, at the same level as the footpath.
- The widths of the paths will vary depending on the space available.
- New seawalls at Little Karaka Bay (60m long) and Balaena Bay south of the toilet block (25m long) up to footpath level will help to create more space.
- There will be a new balustrade fence along the route.
- Most parking will remain along this stretch.
- Bus stops on the seaward side will have a buffer between the kerb and bike path for people getting on and off buses.
- A new pedestrian crossing will be installed at Balaena Bay and a safer crossing point at Weka Bay.
- The footpath at Little Karaka Bay will be at a lower level than the bike path.
- The Maida Vale Road intersection and the entry/exit at Balaena Bay car park will be made safer.
You can view the detailed plans and the video below gives a quick overview what's happening and where.
These bus stop relocations were approved by Councillors in 2018 following community feedback in 2017.
