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
