Kent Terrace and Cambridge Terrace

• There are dedicated bike crossings beside the signalised pedestrian crossings at the southern end of Kent Terrace and Cambridge Terrace.
• The short section of footpath between the Kent Terrace crossing and the Basin Reserve has been widened and turned into a shared path (the proposed separate 2m-wide footpath between the Basin Reserve and Cambridge Terrace has not gone ahead at this stage).
• Three car parks were removed on the Pukeahu side of Kent Terrace.
• The zebra crossing outside the northern gates of the Basin Reserve has been made safer with a raised platform.
• The kerb has been extended at the southern end of Kent Terrace, next to the left-hand traffic lane, to reduce the distance for people using the crossing and provide more space on the footpath.
• The footpath around the corner of Kent Terrace and Ellice Street (from the crossing to Hania Street) is now a shared path. 
• The Council will be talking with the NZ Transport Agency to see if it is possible to seal the lime path through the little park area, and make it pedestrian-only.

How this will help

These are part of a series of changes to improve connections and make it safer and easier for people to get places in the central city by bike.  

Incremental changes like these – combined with the more substantial changes planned as part of the Let’s Get Wellington Moving project – will together help create a better cycling network.

• The feedback period on proposed traffic changes (resolutions) for this project was 26 September to 16 October 2017.
• Councillors approved a proposal to make the footpath a shared path on 23 November 2017.
