Ellerslie cycle lane given the go ahead

Cycling will become a more attractive option in Ellerslie after the council’s Transport Committee decision to build a cycle lane on Ladies Mile last week.

Committee chairperson, Councillor Ken Baguley says the design of the cycle lane takes into account suggestions from the community.

“We’ve listened to feedback from the Maungakiekie Community Board and the community, and revised our cycleway plans accordingly. The cycle lane

will run along one side of the road and maintain on-street parking”.

The dedicated cycle lane will make cycling a safer choice in Ellerslie and forms part of the 50km citywide cycle network.
