With Te Ara Tupua and Tupua Horo Nuku complete and more people expected to walk and cycle along the Petone waterfront, we've carried out improvement and maintenance works to the existing shared path along the waterfront in Petone, helping to create a continuous walking and cycling network around the Te Whanganui-a-Tara / Wellington Harbour.
What we’ve done
Work along the Petone waterfront included widening and resurfacing sections of the shared path to better accommodate higher volumes of cyclists and pedestrians. Where possible we've widened the path to at least 2.4m.
We have also removed or relocated bollards, removed some vegetation, relocated rubbish bins, relocated or removing seats, and removed steps from the path.
Work to upgrade the Bay Street toilets and their surrounds is also underway, see Bay Street public toilets upgrade for more information
Improvements have also been made to an area west of Waione Bridge, creating a rest area and better connection to the Hutt River Trail. Find out more about this work at Hīkoikoi Landing.
We continue to investigate the route through Seaview to ensure the connection to the north end of Tupua Horo Nuku is safe for cyclists of all skill levels as well as pedestrians.
