About this project
We’re improving footpath safety on Whangaparāoa Road to provide a safe, convenient and well-connected walking option in your community.
Your road has been selected as one of our focus areas to support more sustainable transport options including better walking facilities and access to public transport. This project is funded by the Auckland Council Climate Action Transport Targeted Rate (CATTR) which aims to reduce transport emissions in Tāmaki Makaurau Auckland.
The changes we’re making by August 2025
We want to inform you that we are planning to begin construction in July or August 2025. We’ll notify the community as soon as we have confirmed dates.
The improvements include:
Building a new footpath along Whangaparāoa Road that connects from the existing footpath opposite #312 to #357 Whangaparāoa Road.
Installing a new pedestrian refuge island at the frontage of approx. #328 Whangaparāoa Road where people can safely wait while crossing the road.
Installing yellow tactile pavers to help vision impaired people find their way to the crossing and safely cross the road.
Reconstructing the driveway for #355 Whangaparāoa Road as it will be impacted by the new footpath. Any work that alters a driveway shall be at our cost.
Reconstructing the existing road fencing that will be impacted by the new footpath.
A drawing to the right of this webpage shows where the changes will be installed.
Benefits to your community
Footpaths make it safer for the community by separating motorists and traffic from people on foot.
Well-maintained footpaths are safer for people who walk and ride their bikes and scooters, reducing the risk of being hurt or injured.
More footpaths make it easier and stress-free for you and local children to move about your community, offering better connections to schools, parks, public transport and other local amenities.
Encouraging walking and cycling is good for the environment and good for your health. It helps reduce reliance on cars for local trips, decreasing traffic congestion and reducing our carbon emissions.
