Christchurch’s Park Tce cycleway will remain in place following a tense debate and accusations of contempt for cyclists and all residents.

Last month, council staff replaced a vehicle lane on Park Tce with a cycleway. The work was done under temporary traffic management rules and sparked outrage amongst some councillors and mayor Phil Mauger, who accused council staff of “running amok”. Other councillors accused staff of being “sneaky”.

Cyclists, wearing hi-vis clothing and helmets, filled the Christchurch City Council’s public gallery on Wednesday, holding signs pleading with the council to keep the cycleway in place.

Their views were heard by the majority of the council, which voted 10-6 against councillor James Gough’s bid to immediately rip up the cycleway.
