Approved interim solution which is now unlikely to go ahead: bike lanes both sides of the road and parallel parking
Why this solution?
This was a low-cost way to make interim safety improvements for people on bikes along part of Thorndon Quay.
- Bike lanes painted on the road between the parking and traffic on both sides of the road between Davis Street and Mulgrave Street.
- Bike lanes varying in width from 1.6m to 2.4m.
- All angle parking on the Westpac Stadium side changed to parallel parking.
- 45 parallel car parks on this side of the street (reduced from the 97 spaces currently provided).
- The removal of 11 parallel car parks outside the city end of Capital Gateway.
- All 10 hour parking changed to 6 hours.
- No changes to parking on the western side.
- Traffic lanes narrowed to 3.5m, except where they are already narrower.
- The painted median strip shifted slightly with minor changes in width.
- Retaining the morning peak citybound clearway.
