Bruce Mclaren Road bus improvements

We plan to combine some bus stops on Bruce Mclaren Road and build a new crossing.

Following feedback to our proposal in May 2025, we have made changes to our plans. We will reduce the number of parking spaces being removed by 4 to 5 spaces. Download the latest plan to see the full details. 

We expect to have these changes implemented before the end of 2025.

New stop outside 128 Bruce McLaren Road 

We will combine bus stops 5522 (110 Bruce McLaren Road) and 5520. We will upgrade the footpath area, road markings and existing signage. We will also: 

• build a new bus shelter 
• install more broken yellow lines so buses have more room to move. 

New stop outside 119 Bruce McLaren Road 

We will combine bus stops 5499 (137 Bruce McLaren Road) and 5501. We will: 

• build a new footpath area 
• install road markings and upgrade signage at 4 Ivy Nola Way 
• install more broken yellow lines at the bus stop. 

Crossing facility by 119 and 124 Bruce McLaren Road 

We will install new pedestrian refuge islands to give safer access to the bus stops. 

These changes will lead to some on-street parking loss, but: 

• customers will be able to get on and off buses safely and comfortably 
• buses will be able to drive safer 
• bus services will be more reliable. 

How this will benefit your neighbourhood 

The bus route will be more efficient. The existing bus stops are close together, so buses slow down and stop more often. 

The improved stops will more accessible and safer for both road users and pedestrians.
