Today’s advice by NZ Transport Agency’s Brett Gliddon that “
a trial of using the existing harbour bridge for cyclists and pedestrians would require two lanes
[1]” is disingenuous and misleading.
NZTA’s Detailed Business Case assessment of the options include the use a single lane to provide for walking and cycling (Option 3 of NZTA’s report dated January, see page 73 [2]).
The trial could easily replicate the barriers of Option 3, to provide a safe 4.5 metre shared path for walking and cycling. However Gliddon knows by claiming two traffic lanes are required, the trial will not be approved.
