Monday, 16 July 2001, 4:48 pm Press Release: Auckland City
Auckland City cyclists are now enjoying new cycle lanes on
St Lukes Road that keep wheels turning through Mt Albert.
Road safety for cyclists, drivers and pedestrians has
been improved by Auckland City’s upgrade to the stretch
between New North Road and the Northwestern Motorway.
Endorsed by the Eden/Albert Community Board, the
improvements include on-road cycle lanes in both directions,
green colouring for the lanes, new pedestrian crossings
through the central median and extended footpaths.
The new
lanes not only provide an important link in the city’s cycle
network, they also aim to increase general road safety by
defining the road layout more clearly.
Auckland City
adopted a cycle and walking strategy in 1998, which
pinpointed St Lukes Road as a regional link in the cycle
network. The road feeds into the northwestern cycle route,
opened last year.
The Carrington Road cycle lanes, which
also link to this route, will be coloured green in August to
further emphasise cyclists’ space on the road.
