We're trialling a new separated bike connection between Ngā Hau Māngere Bridge and Māngere Bridge Village.

Over the past few months, we’ve been working with locals in Māngere Bridge to explore trial changes to their neighbourhood streets. These people brought a broad range of perspectives and connections to local organisations, businesses, and community groups. Their insights and ideas have shaped upcoming trial changes along a key section of Coronation Road.

Trialling these changes allows the whole community to experience them and have their say. Compared to traditional transport projects, the changes will be low-cost and low-risk. This allows our project team to better understand the wants and needs of the local community before making any permanent changes.

What happens next?

Together, the feedback from the community and the data we've collected will shape the future of the trial.

So far, we've collected survey responses, had conversations at community events and with stakeholders, observed the trial in use, and collected data from tube counters. While the survey has closed, we'll still be collecting data over the next few weeks to help us decide on the future of the trial.

The outcome of the trial will be announced following its completion in June 2024.

Why a cycleway? Why here?

Early engagement with community partners highlighted a desire for better cycling access along a section of Coronation Road, connecting the already popular Ngā Hau Māngere Bridge to Māngere Bridge Village. Dedicated cycling space along this section would create a new connection between the existing South Western Cycleway at Ngā Hau Māngere Bridge and the stores, hospitality, and community facilities in Māngere Bridge Village.

This trial is just a small piece of several initiatives in Māngere designed to improve travel for those who walk, cycle and wheel. Together they could create a comprehensive network:

What else are we doing?

Streets for People is about more than a cycleway - it's an opportunity for local people to give cycling a go and have a say in the future of their streets. Here are some of the other parts of the project you'll see in the coming months:

Ngā Hau Māngere Bridge Gate Trial


We have installed a trial gate at the corner of Coronation Road and Waterfront Road. The gate will be closed from 10pm to 5am, Monday to Sunday, and is expected to be fully installed and operational from the end of April to late June. This will restrict overnight vehicle access to Coronation Rd (North of the Waterfront Rd intersection), except for those needing to use the boat ramp during these hours. A security officer will be on duty to facilitate access for boat ramp users through the gate from 10pm to 5am, Monday to Sunday.


Purpose of the Project

The gate trial aims to:

• Reduce instances of night-time antisocial behaviour at the Māngere Bridge end of Coronation Rd.

• Improve the security and safety of people and the community who use the footbridge overnight.

• Recommend a long-term solution post-trial that meets the objectives of the trial and the needs of the community.


Have your say on the Gate Trial
A survey form for our community to share their thoughts on the gate trial will be available soon. We will notify you as soon as it's open for feedback on this website. Thank you for your patience and understanding. Aroha mai.

To use the boat ramp during this time, an access code will be required. If this is you, or someone you know, please get in touch at Streets4People@at.govt.nz or call Mealamu Security at 0800 817 817


Community pump track
We've installed a pop-up community pump track at Māngere Bridge's Waterfront Reserve! This will provide whānau with a fun, social, off-road space to gain confidence and bike skills.

Bike parking
We’re planning to install bike parking in key locations by this route. This will ensure that riders have tidy, secure spaces to put their bikes.

Community events
Over the next few months, there will be community events, activations and plenty of opportunities for the whole whānau to give the trial a ride. Check out the upcoming events list on the side of this page to join the fun.
