Package A includes all three of the most direct connections for people cycling between Island Bay, Kilbirnie and the central city. It includes a link from Island Bay to South Wellington Intermediate School via an off-road path and bike lanes/paths on Russell Terrace. The bike lane layout would be consistent with the existing bike lanes and planned changes on The Parade, and the uphill lanes on Constable Street and Crawford Road.
Three ticks is the highest score; three crosses is the lowest.

See a comparison of the packages against the applicable community objectives.
As part of the planning and assessment of possible packages, we looked at current parking on all streets that were considered as part of potential routes. We have developed maps showing Package A's impact on parking. The maps show on the impact on the amount of parking space, resident parking and parking for all users along the network.
These community objectives were not included in the assessment for this phase of Newtown Connections. However, they will be used and assessed in the next phase of the project.
