Total km's of separated cycleways in NZ

Rod Badcock made this Official Information request to Ministry of Transport

The request was successful.

From: Rod Badcock

Dear Ministry of Transport,

The opposition party transport policy statement is quoted as saying:
"National proposes that in areas where separated cycleways exist, cyclists must use them or else they will receive a fine" Chris Bishop MP, 15/12/2019

Can you please clarify three items:
a) How many km's of *separated* cycleways exist in NZ (not shared paths, or on road cycleways)?
b) What is the average continuous length of a separated cycleway in NZ?
c) Listed by major urban city (Auckland, Wellington, Christchurch), how many km's of separated cycleway exist for each?

Yours faithfully,

Rod Badcock
