Make Wellington an even more people-friendly, attractive and sustainable city
Encourage more people to travel by bike, particularly less-confident riders
Provide safer and easier ways to get to places by bike
Create a connected cycle network
People in your community have been working with us on ways to make it easier and safer to walk and bike around Miramar, between the eastern suburbs and into the central city.
In September 2017 we asked for feedback on proposed improvements for part of Miramar Avenue through the town centre. The project is being progressed in two sections:
As part of improving Miramar town centre, there is an opportunity to connect Miramar Avenue to the rest of a safe cycling network in Miramar and Kilbirnie, and the proposed new walking and biking paths along Cobham Drive.
The Council has been working with Enterprise Miramar Peninsula since 2016 to identify the issues, investigate transport demand, and come up with a short list of options for discussion with the wider community.
The organisation held a series of workshops in late 2016 and 2017, working with transport planners, engineers, urban design consultants and others in a similar way to the community groups.
Enterprise Miramar Peninsula is non-political organisation run by a voluntary executive committee, which is dedicated to furthering economic development for Miramar. It works with and on behalf of local businesses, landlords and the community to enhance prosperity, safety and security in the suburb. It was set up under the Council’s business improvement district (BID) policy to work with the Council on projects like this that benefit the community.
