About the project
With the growth in housing and jobs in the wider Māngere area, more people will be moving around the streets to get to where they want to go.
As more people move around the area, some changes are necessary to give more travel options for people wanting to bike or walk to work, school, local shops, church, and other important places.
New safe cycling routes through Māngere East and Favona are being proposed to give people more ways to get to important places. These include sports fields at Māngere Centre Park, shops at Māngere Town Centre, David Lange Park, and schools and churches along the way. The changes also set up important connection points for future bike links all the way to Māngere Bridge, Ōtāhuhu, and Middlemore.
Consultation on the Māngere to Favona Link opens on Monday 12 May 2025. You’re invited to learn more about the proposal and share your feedback once the consultation opens.
What is being proposed?
The proposed changes include:
A separated, two-way cycleway on Robertson Road connecting with the existing cycleway next to Māngere Centre Park.
A shared path for people on bikes and pedestrians along Wakefield Road and the southern part of Harania Avenue.
A new shared path through the greenspace in the southern section of Harania Creek.
Sharrow markings (where vehicles and people riding bikes share the lane) on the north end of Tennessee Avenue, before Vine Street.
Together, these changes extend the cycle network and provide the first part of new cycling connections between suburbs, making it easier to get to key local destinations by bike.These changes are also an essential link to the planned future connections to both Ōtāhuhu and Middlemore Hospital.
What are the benefits?
A new, safe off-road space for people to get comfortable riding a bike locally.
Sets up the connection points for future network links to Middlemore Hospital and Ōtāhuhu.
New walking and cycling connections for people on the streets surrounding Harania Creek and through Lenore Foreshore Reserve.
Easier and safer travel by bike between Māngere Town Centre, Māngere Centre Park, and Favona.
Links people on bikes to places along the wider Māngere cycle network, including in Māngere West, Māngere Bridge and the airport.
Make our streets better for all kinds of travel and help ensure young people have more freedom to get around now and in the future.
Check back here on Monday, May 12, for more details and to have your say on the proposed changes.
