Hon PHIL TWYFORD (Minister of Transport): Last week, I kicked off construction of the Tamaki Drive cycleway, with Mayor Phil Goff. The project includes a 2.8-metre, dedicated off-road cycleway which will be separated from the existing shared pathway, meaning that both pedestrians and cyclists will be safer. Upgrading one of Auckland's busiest cycle routes makes sense. There's an average of more than 1,500 cycle trips on that route every day, and we expect even more people to use it once the upgrade is completed.
