Background

Project work included design advice for the Napier to Hastings intercity cycleway (February 2017). This included rural road safety advice on speed management, shoulders, and delineation for Marewa, Westminster and Sandy roads.

We then undertook a city-wide cycling network evaluation (July 2018). Existing conditions auditing included video and an ArcGIS data collector. We developed concept plans and cross sections for five corridors including off-street pathways, neighbourhood greenways (quiet streets), and on-street cycleways. Minor crossing improvements were also identified and mapped.
