We're installing uphill bike lanes in two stages, alongside other improvements to make it easier for people to walk and use buses.
The first stage addressed safety concerns and provided better transport options for people, while giving time for businesses on Kaiwharawhara Road to adapt and to manage the removal of car parking spaces before further changes.
Stage 2 – November 2024
