They are proposing to extend the path to connect with the Chch-Little River pathway – great if you’re going to Prebbleton or Lincoln. But to Rolleston they are relying on use of the parallel (?) quieter roads, including Main South Road, which will have less traffic and wider shoulders after the motorway is done. Sounds like something worth having some more discussions with NZTA…

It would seem strange to get to a point where bikes and cars are back sharing the same space again particluarly at open road speeds. Rolleston is a rapidly growing town and having a dedicated bike path all of the way there would/could encourage more cycle commuting due to the safety aspects
