In reply to LennyBoy. Thanks both, I was fairly sure I would have heard if there had been something about the northern stretch

Completion of the cycleway from Sumner to Linwood will be fantastic. The hassle with negotiating traffic at Shag Rock corner and the Ferrymead bridge has meant that a long carefree ride is not really possible. Bring it on! Excellent news all around.

I’m always amused that the South Express goes more West than South.

In reply to Gretzky. Some of those indicative 2013 routes ended up changing quite substantially in the final wash. But the northern bit of the Nor'West Arc does lend itself to a reasonably logical route as indicated by Robert. You are correct though that there hasn't ever been consultation on this bit, so that would be a necessary first step and therefore this section might be one of the later bits to be constructed.

A lot has hapenned in 7 years so this map may be little more than an initial guide. It appears the route was to continue north along Ilam Road onto Aorangi Road to Condell Ave and do a dogleg into St James Ave and park to link to the Railway Pathway.

I tried to find out yday about the NW arc. The plans on CCC website only have the part that heads west/south from the uni, not the bit up to Papanui. Has that part been designed and the route consulted on?
