Walking and cyclingOverview
The Kelston to New Lynn walking and cycling connections project has identified improvements that will make it safer and easier for people to walk, cycle and scooter to schools, town centres and other community facilities in Kelston, New Lynn and Glen Eden.
In August and September 2024, the community provided feedback on the improvements that had been identified. The feedback, along with the technical assessments and investigations, has helped shape and refine the recommended network and preliminary design. View the feedback summary (PDF, 1.9MB).
We’ll share an update with the community on the design changes once they are ready. Any future progression of the project will remain subject to approvals and funding.
