Transit 'stalling' on cycle lane

Cycle Action wants transit to commit.

Cyclists suspect Transit NZ of stalling against calls for the Auckland Harbour Bridge to be opened to them and pedestrians.

The highways agency has confirmed the feasibility of adding a cycleway to one edge of the bridge, and a footpath. But Cycle Action Auckland is concerned Transit wants to wait for the result of a study on a new Waitemata Harbour crossing before committing itself.

Transit regional manager Peter Spies has told Auckland Regional Council his organisation expects proposed bridge-strengthening to include work needed to allow a pedestrian-cycle facility to be built in the future."
