Northern Pathway Confirmed on Western Side of Motorway
Waka Kotahi NZ Transport Agency (NZTA) have announced that the Akoranga Drive to Constellation Drive portion of the Northern Pathway will be on the western side of the motorway, with 82% of respondants supporting this side of the motorway.
This mirrors the Kaipātiki Local Board's formal feedback of supporting the western side of the motorway with connections into the surrounding roads and reserves.
The Kaipātiki Local Board had also highlighted concern about the potential effect on Smiths Bush Scenic Reserve, and this was also reflected in public feedback. NZTA are now working with the local restoration groups and the Local Board on options in this area that will protect the bush.

On Smiths Bush, NZTA say:
"We received a great deal of feedback highlighting the special place that Smiths Bush holds in the community as an ancient, ecologically unique urban ngahere (forest). We have listened to this and are working with relevant community groups, local boards and government agencies to consider options to mitigate any potential environmental impact as we finalise our business case. There will be further discussion with mana whenua, project partners and key stakeholders as this design detail is developed in the next phase of the project. Through our ongoing public engagement we will also consider how the wider cultural and social elements can be enhanced to deliver a project that benefits the whole community."
