West Auckland residents could net new cycle ways in Henderson
Auckland Transport has announced new cycle routes proposed for West Auckland's Henderson.
Community feedback has helped AT identify eight bike routes which will form the backbone of the proposed new Henderson cycle network.
More than 500 submissions were made, with 275 new routes pinpointed, aimed at boosting safety for cyclists.
Once the proposed new network is confirmed, AT will look at ways to connect routes to surrounding areas.
The goal is to develop a comprehensive network which can be built over time, as funding becomes available.
“Cycling is a better option for the environment and makes up an essential part of our city’s shift towards a low-carbon transport system,” said Cliff Wilton, Auckland Transport's sustainable mobility manager.

Poll: Should we ditch daylight saving? 🕰️
First introduced in New Zealand in 1927 with the passing of the Summer Time Act, it's what we know as 'Daylight Saving' and this year it ends on the first Sunday in April.
While we do get to sleep in this time around, some people would like to scrap the clock tinkering for good.
And why? Some evidence suggests the time changes are bad for our health as they mess with sleep patterns leading to short-term fatigue and affecting mood. Meanwhile the hour change is frustrating for farmers and a nightmare for getting the littlies to sleep. But what's your take?
-
41.5% Yes - get rid of the clock changes
-
56.9% No, I enjoy it
-
1.7% Other - I'll share below
