The proposed South Express cycleway, which links Templeton to Hagley Park, will turn sections of residential streets into culs-de-sac and also see about 65 trees replaced.
New traffic signals will be added at 11 intersections along the route.
The work is part of the council's $252m major cycleways programme that will see suburbs connected to the central city through 13 separate routes.
What do you think of the plans? How will the roading changes affect you? Do you think this is the best use of the NZ Transport Agency's funding?

We’re asking for New Zealanders’ views now, so we can take them into account right from the start of the process.
Key benefits we will be looking for include removing tariffs and other barriers that restrict the flow of goods and services between our countries, and closer cooperation on progressive trade issues, including environmental protection.
Submissions are closing on 11 February, so to make your voice heard, just answer our quick poll question and share your thoughts now.

All New Zealand police officers will receive new stab- and bullet-proof vests in a $20 million roll-out over the next three-and-a-half years.
The current vests - which were introduced in 2006 - are stab-proof, but special vests are worn by any officers involved in firearms call-outs.
They have passed their warranty, but remain "safe and fit for purpose", says Police Commissioner Mike Bush.
What do you think about the new armour? Are police officers safe using the current vests? Are you surprised the existing vests aren't stab- and bullet-proof?

Clients appreciate being able to attend a JP and have documents signed without the cost of a lawyer's appointment.
I have had several instances where JPs have been unsure of whether what they are being asked to do is correct; and usually they have then checked with a court registrar or another colleague, to make sure they have got things right.
It is particularly helpful to know they can verify someone's identity for court or land-registration purposes by sighting an original passport or driver's licence and certifying a photocopy as a true copy. I cannot lawfully do that by distance.
They don't get paid for this; and they make a real difference.
Thank you.
