Pop-up cycleway to improve safety in Glen Eden
A pop-up cycleway to improve safety for cyclists has been given the green light.
The temporary cycle way will be located on Captain Scott Road in Glen Eden, and funded by NZ Transport Agency Innovating Streets Fund.
The cycling path will complete the route from Ceramco Park and Kaurilands Domain to the town centre, providing access to the town centre and train station for residents along that corridor.
It will also make it safer for students going to Glen Eden Intermediate and Primary Schools.
Waitākere Ranges Local Board chair Greg Presland said that the cycleway will provide people with an alternative to using cars in the area as well as calming traffic on Captain Scott Road.
“What this pop-up cycleway will do is provide people who want to access the train station or town centre with the opportunity to do so without having to use their car, or feel unsafe on a bike with cars speeding past them,” he said.
“Residents in the area frequently report fast vehicle speeds and safety concerns on this stretch of road - particularly for school children, and there have been a number of crashes on the road in the last five years.”
