Option in development: Option A
Traffic-side bike lane on each side of the road, parking retained on both sides
Why Option A?
This was the only proposed option for Te Whiti Street. It provides a good connection on a quiet route between Rongotai Road and Coutts Street, and is a safer option for people on bikes than the existing bike lanes. The proposed design is appropriate for this quiet street with less traffic and low vehicle speeds.

The proposed solution is for the whole of Te Whiti Street from the intersection at Rongotai Road to Coutts Street. Only one option is proposed.
The impacts on intersections, pedestrian crossings and driveways will be detailed in the next stage of design and available for feedback in November.
Option A - Bike lane both sides of the road
Why Option A?
This improves on the existing layout by providing wider lanes for people on bikes and a car door buffer zone. Traffic speeds will reduce due to narrower traffic lanes and this will improve safety.
Impacts
-
Traffic lanes reduced in width from 3.6m to 2.8m
-
No parking changes
-
No changes to footpath
-
Likely uptake by people on bikes: Moderate increase
How we got here
In 2016 – following community open days, discussions with local residents and online feedback – Councillors confirmed the routes and roads that would be used to develop better biking connections.
