The content on this page was accurate at the time of the traffic resolution consultation, and some changes were made to the project as a result of community feedback. We've kept this page to make sure we are being transparent about our process and to show how the project has developed. The main project page is the most up to date place, and more information about the Council's decision can be found in the meeting minutes.
The changes along these streets will make things safer and easier for everyone – whether you’re walking, biking, catching the bus or driving.

As part of our engagement, we’ve worked closely with groups in the community and stakeholders to make changes to the proposed design.

Through engagement with businesses in the Kaiwharawhara Road area, we’re keen to help them adapt to the proposed street changes while providing safer transport options in the short term. This means we’re looking at making the improvements in stages from 2023 to 2025.
Most of the proposed changes for the route will be installed in stage 1.
Two sections of the uphill bike lane planned for Kaiwharawhara Road will happen in stages 2 and 3, using clearways over the first two years to help manage the removal of car parking.
Stage 1 - June 2023 – clearway operating from 4pm-7pm, parking available at all other times
Stage 2 - Jan/Feb 2024 – clearway operating from 2pm-9pm, parking available at all other times
Stage 3 - Jan/Feb 2025 – uphill bike lane fully installed and in use, with the remainder of the car parking on the south side of Kaiwharawhara Road removed.
