"Planning Auckland's Cycle Network - why its's important and the struggles"

Auckland city has over 15,000 people who cycle, walk or jog to work every day. In addition, just under half of all journeys to school are by foot or on a bike. Cycling and walking are clearly the commuting modes of choice for many Aucklanders.

So how is cycling planned for in Auckland?

This presentation will cover:
• why strategic planning for cycling is important
• different approaches to strategic planning for Auckland’s cycle network
• continuity throughout the ‘changing tides of democracy’ - maintaining strategic direction and momentum
• overcoming challenges associated with implementing the cycle network
• measurement and monitoring
• the future direction (it’s what strategic planning is all about)
