Kia ora Steve & Brett,
As a courtesy, we wanted to give you a heads up on next GetAcross supporters update befoe it
goes out. Welcome any feedback...
Hi there XXXXX,
NZTA have said they don’t support a
short trial of using one traffic lane for walking &
cycling across the Harbour Bridge.
We think they’re terrified of how successful it will be… A multi-modal bridge = less traffic +
healthier, happier commuters! (However this would be bad for NZTA because they are funded
by the burning of fossil fuels).
Check out the results of this recent
NowNext poll media item says: "
Survey respondents were
also asked how they planned to change their travel patterns, and could choose as many options
as they wished. The most popular new habit is an active commute – nearly a quarter of people
said they intended to walk, run or cycle more frequently to work or study.”
It’s been 17 years since Parliament asked NZTA for a solution to walking & cycling over the
Harbour Bridge. Per this
letter to Minister of Transport, Hon Michael Wood we have lost
confidence in NZTA's competence and integrity, hence we seek an independent panel in order to
get past NZTA’s entrenched obstruction.
See you at the rally, this Sunday 10:00am at Pt Erin, rain or shine!

Kia Ora Steve,
I wanted to follow up to see if you could provide an update and advice on the Liberate the Lane
campaign and are NZTA assisting with the organisations and safety of this event. I know last time
we met you thought it was unlikely to proceed, but it looks like it will go ahead.
Look forward to hearing from you.

Dear s 9(2)
(a)
Thank you for your e-mail of 19 May 2021 regarding the campaign to ‘Liberate the Lane’ on the
Auckland Harbour Bridge (AHB). I appreciate you reaching out to follow-up about the campaign.
Waka Kotahi will not be in attendance at the event organised by Bike Auckland for 30 May 2021. The
NZ Police has been in contact with the organisers of the rally and offered its support to ensure that
rally participants can move around safely.
If you wish to discuss this matter further, please do not hesitate to contact me.
Yours sincerely
Steve Mutton
Director Regional Relationships (Northland/ Auckland)

Subject: Auckland Harbour bridge cycling and walking 30 May 2021
Hi Brian Roche,
I'm sure that you remember the last time cyclists went over the Auckland Harbour bridge in late
May 2009 - 12 years ago. If I recall correctly you were also the chair of Waka Kotahi at that
time. I've attached a picture of our day out, showing how safe it was on the bridge for cyclists
and walkers and how many people were there.
We'll be bringing both our kids this time, they've aged quite a lot in the interim, in the absence of
any change in cycling and walking access to the bridge. It does seem like a very long time for
Waka Kotahi to get the SkyPath onto the bridge. Please expedite the installation of SkyPath and
therefore advance some of your climate change obligations at the same time.
I'm writing this to urge you to make it just as easy for cyclists and pedestrians to use the bridge
on 30 May, as it was 12 years ago, and also into the future. I'm sure you can address the issue
positively at your board meeting this week.
I would expect to see Victoria Carter and Patrick Reynolds there too, as Waka Kotahi board
members who are keen to create a more actively mobile urban Auckland and reduce the traffic
congestion induced by more roads. You'd be more than welcome too.
I hope you and the board support my request to enable this event to proceed safely and I hope
that you will be in attendance on the day. A solution to enable walking and cycling on the bridge
is certainly possible and Waka Kotahi must enable this to happen.
Kind regards,
