Auckland regional cycle network assessment

Background

MWH New Zealand Ltd (Christchurch) and ViaStrada evaluated five different potential cycle network models. ARTA’s British expert peer reviewer thought that our GIS-based methodology, using Auckland demographic data and existing transport models, was pretty clever.

End result – a clear idea of how to develop the regional cycling network (and a happy client!).
