Policy and practice around cycleway consultations
Michael Brown made this Official Information request to New Zealand Transport Agency
The request was successful.
From: Michael Brown
Dear New Zealand Transport Agency,
I am seeking to clarify NZTA's policies around consulting with cyclists when scoping, proposing and planning cycleway developments. I am specifically interested in consultation with cyclists who use existing routes to be upgraded and who therefore have experience and insight about these routes.
Please provide the following information:
1. NZTA policy (if such exists) about consulting with cyclists and/or cycling interest groups in planning cycleway developments.
2. Any assessment of how such policies are being implemented.
3. NZTA policy (if such exists) around cycleway planners conducting their own field research by cycling routes to gain experience and insights.
4. What consultation with cyclists and field research (as described above) occurred during planning of the Te Ara Tupua cycleway along Wellington Harbour.
Yours faithfully,
Michael Brown
