According to the CCC engineers talking at one of the public consultation meetings this route was considered ( using Carrington St , rather than Jacobs ) . It did not make the cut due to the fact that it is not sufficiently direct for those using the cycleway to commute. Crossing Innes Road is also another problem, in that having a second light controlled intersection so close to the Rutland Street lights will seriously delay the busy commuter traffic heading east/west along Innes Road. At Rutland St the phase will allow cycles and Rutland straight through traffic to travel concurrently.

Love the idea of a safe cycle way, but why not avoid “busy” Rutland St and go down Jacobs, across Malvern Park and up to Western Road via the public walk/cycle ways. Much fewer cars, much nicer scenery

I’m liking the new alternative along Caledonian Rd, but reverting back to Colombo St at Purchas St seems a bit silly. Why not continue to Bealey Ave and create a staggered signalised crossing using the central median!

I’d love to know how a cycleway would create ‘more crime’ and ‘mental health decline’….

Submitted. I hope the council will receive overwhelming support for this and other cycle ways. Safe cycling facilities should have priority over car parks, they are not called parking ways are they?
