Carlton Gore Road to NIWA

• The two-way asphalt bike path will be between the footpath and the road, at the same level as the footpath. It will be 3m wide wherever possible, and narrower in some places where space is constrained.
• The exposed aggregate concrete footpath will generally be 2m wide but the width will vary depending on the space available.
• Parking for 173 vehicles will remain along this stretch (15 fewer than before).
• Possible new seawalls at Little Karaka Bay and Balaena Bay will help to create more space however the options for these will be considered as part of the detailed design work. Construction in this area won't happen until 2022.
• Parking on the seaward side will still be against the kerb, with a .8m to 1m-wide buffer between the kerb and bike path to give people space for getting in and out of cars.
• Bus stops on the seaward side will have a 1.5m-wide buffer between the kerb and bike path for people getting on and off buses.
• New pedestrian crossings will be installed at Kio Bay and Balaena Bay.
• Traffic lanes will generally be 3.5m wide. Extra width will be provided on bends.

At Ōmarukaikuru / Point Jerningham

• New sections of seawall have been built to fill in the gaps between the existing walls. This has created more space for developing separate paths for people on foot and on bikes. The new seawalls will also better protect the road.
• Around the point, the footpath is on the lower level with easy access from above (no steps).
• There are two lookout spots at footpath level, with seats and planting, where people can stop and enjoy the views.
• Large concrete platforms in two places mean people can step down to the rocky point.
• Weathered (corten) steel are used as part of the barrier fences, look-out points, seats, rubbish bins, place name signs, and bike stands.
• New lighting poles with banner arms have replaced the existing poles.

These bus stop relocations were approved by Councillors in 2018 following community feedback in 2017.

Detailed design for this area between Little Karaka Bay and Weka Bay is in development and this will likely involve more discussion with some local residents.
