Have your say on bike parking

Have your say on bike parking

Auckland Transport in association with Cycle Action Auckland (CAA) is asking what sort of bike parking Aucklanders want.

Auckland Transport has set up a bike parking trial at the Downtown Ferry Terminal next to the stop for the Airport Bus.

Walking and Cycling Manager Kathryn King says the trial is about giving cyclists something they want and they will use. “We want to make sure bike stands meet the needs of the city’s growing cycling community. We’re looking at factors like ease of use, safety and security.”

CAA’s Barbara Cuthbert says it’s important that cyclists make their views known. “This trial to test and comment on new cycling facilities is a first for Auckland. It’s a hugely valuable prelude to AT’s plans for new bike parking facilities at bus and train stations and ferries.”

The trial runs to the end of the week and Auckland Transport staff will be on site each morning from 7 to 9.

Auckland Transport’s current annual budget for bike parking is approximately $400,000.
