.. and on the other side it will continue extend all the way to Pakuranga Rd to the existing path and also further up Pakuranga Rd. Going east that other side will be two-way all the way to the Botany Town Ctr.

Finally tried out the section of cycleway open next to the Eastern Busway from the Pakuranga town centre about from under the new flyover all the way to Gossamer Dr. Will eventually be another one on the other side through this section.
Past the local Edgewater shopping ctr & College.

All circular reasoning, we can’t do that because we haven’t done this but we do this because we haven’t done that.

Yes, I think simple letters or colour names. Numbers kept for platforms.

I mean 11 pm or midnight at least, surely, and can we ban the cars in the same manner. We all know half the drivers are driving buzzed too. Way more deadly.

9 pm curfew in some areas in Auckland for hire e-scooters so flipen lame, renders them virtually useless for a night out.

Thanks to my suggestions (I think) and Auckland Transport, Mt Wellington has a couple of new badly needed bike rack pairs. @bikeauckland.bsky.social

Its funny on the other place when the anti cycling fanatics don't understand New Zealand's urban cycleways were kicked off by funding from when John Key and Simon Bridges were in government

2/2. which avoids holding up drivers and yourself sometimes. Also because we don’t have rule to yield to straight ahead movements for the turning traffic into a side road.

1/2. Interesting treatment on Albany Highway at intersections. Shared path turns into an on-road painted section I presume to avoid pedestrians, unnecessary beg button pushing.

Also pictured was Len Brown.

A blast from the past on what might have been all the way back when the Super City was formed in 2010, and Len Brown was elected as its first mayor!
