Footpath surfaces will be reconstructed.
New street lighting and furniture will be installed.
Auckland Council aims to create a pedestrian and cycle-friendly environment with native plantings, bike racks and more seating.
The rain gardens will improve the water health of nearby Takapuna Beach by filtering storm water and removing pollutants before it enters the sea, the council said.
Councillor Richard Hills said he was pleased to see work recommence and improvements made to the street last year had been well received by the community.
"Itโs a significant investment in our community, that not only upgrades the failing roadway, replaces the water supply main but will also provide stormwater infrastructure that will help clean up the water running onto Takapuna Beach," Hills said.
โImportantly, the new one-way road layout and cycling lane will provide a safer environment for all users of the road including pedestrians and cyclists."
The work is being delivered in stages to reduce business disruption and ensure pedestrian access to shops.
Native trees will be planted near the end of the project to align with the planting season.
Hurstmere Rd will remain open to traffic during construction.
What do you think of the planned upgrade?

Located in the former Warehouse site at the Highbury Shopping Centre, the clinic will have capacity to vaccinate up to 1000 people per day once fully up-to-speed.
The clinic was opened by DHB iwi partner Ngฤti Whฤtua on Monday morning.
Waitematฤ DHB CEO Dr Dale Bramley said the high-profile location would be easily accessible for the public to get their vaccinations.
It is expected the clinic will service a "large and diverse" population, including the a "rapidly growing Asian community" which made up 28 per cent of the district's 650 thousand-strong population.
First in line to receive their vaccinations at the clinic are border workers and their household contacts, MIQ staff and health workers, followed by people with underlying health conditions and older Mฤori and Pacific people.
They had a vision for their property, but they also had three floods in 20 years. That didn't stop them pursuing the garden of their dreams though.

The footage, taken in Auckland, comes as the Government increased the cost of a fine for using a cellphone while driving from $80 to $150.
Over the course of a week, ahead of the fine increase, a Stuff visual journalist captured numerous people using their phones while driving, including a woman who appeared to be on a video call while passing through an intersection, a man speaking on the phone and numerous people texting or looking at their phone.
Last year, police issued more than 40,000 infringement notices for the offence.
A driver for Dingo Groundworx NZ was captured using their phone while driving a truck along Williamson Ave, in Ponsonby.
Owner Cameron Hadley told Stuff all employees were very aware they should not be using their phones while driving.
He said he would be raising the issue in a staff meeting.
AA road safety spokesman Dylan Thomsen told Stuff he wasnโt surprised to hear about the woman video calling while driving.
While AA supports the Governmentโs fine increase, Thomsen said it wasnโt going to solve the problem.
โPeople just canโt resist the temptation if they hear their phone go off ... itโs not something you do by accident.โ
โA lot of people use their phone behind the wheel and donโt do other risky things.โ
He hopes as there are further advancements in technology, phone companies can have default โdo not disturbโ modes that activate as soon as drivers start moving in their car.
โUntil we change the mindset it will be hard with enforcement alone, people donโt appreciate the risks until itโs too late,โ Thomsen said.

New Zealand is one of McDonaldโs top ten beef-producing markets and itโs such a hit with the rest of the world that a significant percentage of NZโs beef exports are to international McDonaldโs markets.
We partner with many Kiwi farmers who produce our beef, including Whangara Farms which was the first beef farm outside of Europe to be invited to the McDonaldโs Flagship Farmers programme.
ANZCO Foods, based in the small Taranaki town of Waitara, are responsible for making our 100% beef patties. About 90% of the staff at the Waitara plant are locals and they manage to produce around half a million patties each day.
Our quality beef cuts are minced and thatโs it. No additives or fillers, just mince that is formed in patties, before theyโre flash-frozen and sent to restaurants.
Totara Vale area, indoors warm wash, medicated shampoo especially for allergic/sensitive dogs, towel or blow dry. Experienced handler, all breeds. Ph: 027 203 2533.

He was missing for 2 days and we saw him briefly on Tuesday not looking very well. Wouldnโt eat or drink and disappeared again. I believe he has been in a fight as a lot of fur in driveway and needs vet care. Could people please check under their decks and gardens etc as very unusual for him to wander off. His name is โFluffy โ. Please message me if you see him.
