- separate protected on-road cycleway between Lambie Drive and Sharkey Street
- short sections of shared path.
Lambie Drive
- a signalised crossing for pedestrians and cyclists across Lambie Drive connecting Hayman Park and the Manukau Supacentre.
Clendon Avenue

- tightening the corners of the Freyberg Avenue intersection to slow vehicle speeds
- “no stopping at all times” lines at the Freyberg Avenue intersection.
Cambridge Terrace

The proposed changes for Kerr's Road are no longer going ahead.
Timeline
Discussions with community stakeholders
We worked with Māngere East and Manukau partners, stakeholders, and community representatives to understand the barriers to cycling. We discussed how we can target our investment to address these.
We developed a proposed cycling network and set of supporting activities based on the priorities raised by our community partners.
Public engagement and consultation
We invited public engagement on the proposed cycling network for each area. This included development of concept cycle route designs, resulting in an 8-year programme of cycle improvements.
Seeking funding to deliver the work
We finalised the business case and sought funding to deliver the cycling improvements.
Ongoing design and engagement
We completed further design work and community engagement in each area.
Construction and delivery
Delivery of the proposed cycling network and roll-out of supporting activities.
