Pop-up cycleway trialled Glen Eden
A pop-up cycleway is planned for Captain Scott Rd in Glen Eden to link Savoy Rd with the train station.
The path will trial connecting the existing cycleway in Savoy Rd to the town centre and comes after two community co-design workshops this month.
The pop-up cycleway is part of Waka Kotahi’s $210,000 Innovating Streets for People pilot programme.
Waitakere Ranges Local Board Member Mark Allen said there will be room for evaluation and feedback at the end of the trial.
“.... providing a safe way for the community to use other methods of transport to connect to the town centre will only be beneficial in the long run, and that’s why this project is so exciting," Allen said.

SCAM ALERT
Own your Online website is part of the New Zealand government's work to raise understanding of cyber security issues for individuals and businesses, they have shared a message about a new scam that is targeting Kiwis.
Own Your Online say:
We are seeing a significant increase in reporting of ‘Hi Mum’ scams.
A ‘Hi Mum’ scam is a scam where a random message from an unknown number is sent to you claiming to be from a close relative, usually your son or daughter.
The fake relative often claims their phone is broken – which is why they’re contacting you from a different number – and will ask you to do something, sometimes asking you to help them with a payment or to do something by clicking a link.
If you receive one of these, don’t click the links. Try to contact your relative using their normal number which is probably still working.
You can also report these scam messages by forwarding free to Department of Internal Affairs on 7726
