I am seeing a lot of progress. I also read articles from can nz, seems like people switched to biking now a days.

In reply to Joe C.

That weblink above for the Nor’West Arc goes to some plans that show what is envisaged; essentially a two-way path on the southwest side of Annex Rd. The original consultation was actually quite some time back, as discussed in http://cyclingchristchurch.co.nz/2017/03/24/norwest-arc-cycleway-now-due-for-consultation/ – not sure what the timeframe status is for this bit; the Long Term Plan would suggest that it might be next year when this bit happens.

I too am interested in Annex Rd between Wigram Rd and Blenheim Rd. This is the missing link in my commute and is something to look forward to. If it has already been consulted on then hopefully it is in design stage and construction is not far off?

This makes great reading. What ( if anything ) can be reported concerning Annex Road ? Wigram Road to Blenheim Road.

Some great progress had been made on the new shared path/cycleway between Templeton and Dawsons Road (part of the South Express I think) but then the contractors removed all the cones, packed up and left. There’s still a section of the path to be sealed. I’m wondering what happened and if it will be sealed anytime soon?

Excellent information thanks! I must venture further afield and explore these new routes. The completion of the Coastal Pathway and the Ferrymead Bridge to Ferry Road will be fantastic and along with the Heathcote Expressway will provide some great alternatives for getting to and from the city.
