Papakōwhai shared path work starts
Work starts from week of 20 November on a shared path for Papakōwhai Rd. This will connect schools, parks and public transport, making it easier for people to get around the city. It is likely to take until mid-2024 to complete.
Work will mostly take place Monday to Friday between 7am and 6pm. There will be traffic management in place, which will affect road users and roadside parking outside the lagoon. Parking will be reinstated where possible after 3pm. Detours may be in place and there may be occasional weekend work.
This pathway is 100% funded by the Government’s Transport Choices Programme, for projects encouraging people to bike, walk, and use public transport. The programme is led by Waka Kotahi NZ Transport Agency.
Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?
An Auckland court has ruled a woman doesn’t have to contribute towards the cost of fixing a driveway she shares with 10 neighbours.
When thinking about fences, driveways or tree felling, for example, do you think all neighbours should have to pay if the improvements directly benefit them?
