Everyone deserves to be able to choose how they move around our region, and to feel safe while doing so!
The New North Road upgrade project is part of achieving that - and creates quieter healthier streets, and healthier people, as each person on a bike is one car off the road!

Giving people option to walk, cycle, and take public transport is the well-evidenced way to reduce congestion. This is why the Netherlands (which has invested highly in cycling) is considered one of the best places to drive a car.

I'm on a bus right now, and the only other people using this side of great north road are a couple of people on bikes and some private property storage.
It begs the question: why build all these lanes for cars when 'no one' drives on them?
That GPS transport is way out of touch

If you’re looking for motivation to have your say on some important documents and feel like you’re taking action, look no further.
A little submission party on the Long Term Plan and potentially the Draft Government Policy Statement on Land Transport.

This Thread.
As a bus driver, I have to slow to go over these raised crossings, but also, and more importantly, I do not have to slow, stop or detour as much for on road/pedestrian X accidents where people - yes humans - have been hurt by cars & other 4 wheel vehicles. They win

Tāmaki Makaurau Auckland's Inclusive Cycling Report 2023 is here! With funding from Hoe Ki Angitū, Waka Kotahi's Innovation Fund, 50km of cycleways were audited by a range of people on a range of bikes such as trikes, reclining cycles, handcycles and more!

Watch out when riding on the Northwestern by St Lukes rd, be careful as you navigate those overgrown bushes. Hopefully the Council workers will be trimming back that section next!

Women in Urbanism are running a survey is to understand how women/wāhine and girls/kōtiro feel while moving around their cities and what factors influence their experience when traveling from to/from home.

Gone a fair way backwards from when Simon Bridges said this

[Jo Johnson @JoJohnson5]

Seems this was a once in a lifetime moment? 🚲🛴🚶🥳Especially as the current govt’s plans will likely increase carbon emissions and make our world unfit for purpose 🥺#ClimateActionNow #liberatethelane

[Julie Anne Genter @JulieAnneGenter]

It is irresponsible to get rid of the Auckland regional fuel tax without having congestion pricing or some otther means to pay for transport infrastructure. This will mean higher rates and/or cuts to essential transport investment.

Mayor Brown wants to increase revenue from parking. I want to help. New North Rd on approach to Ian MacKinnon Drive. @AklTransport

Raised crossings have been in the news recently, so our friends at Greater Auckland have done a deep dive into why Auckland Transport should aim high on raised crossings. https://t.co/ONCOwwTz3u
