ah right thanks for clearing those two points up. I use this route regularly and have been quite concerned about it. I look forward to the changes.

Thanks for your reply, was wondering the same.

I also am also wondering what it going to happen with the trains crossing Annex Rd – currently these are at peak times and if block Annex Rd for >15mins (I have personally witnessed this only a month ago), the wider impact can jam intersections in the area and take a while to clear. Collaboration with KiwiRail is needed. An overbridge would be best in the longer term.

I believe the preferred way to get across Blenheim Rd would be via the widened shared path that goes around the corner. You’ve got signals at Hansons Lane and will get signals at Lunns Rd to cross back over.

As for the Annex/Birmingham intersection, the consultation documents do show you what that will look like (signals, cycle lanes/paths/etc). But that was consulted on previously (as part of the Wigram-Magdala Link Rd), so hasn’t been shown here. Cyclists should find it a lot easier because of the change to their route south being a true “through” movement (rather than a right-turn across traffic).
