Background
ViaStrada has been commissioned by Napier City Council (NCC) to conduct a post construction assessment that takes into account usability and safety for all pathway and road users, from the cyclist ‘target audience’ point of view. There are two paths audited in this report, the Westminster Avenue path and the Marewa path largely following urban drainage channels.
The audits included riding 7.7 km of new pathways and reviewing the safety and accessibility of numerous road crossings.
