CyWAy–ROTORUA BIKING OUR VISION: A city where everyone can travel around safely and freely
NETWORK | 2016–2018
Our communities have told us they want safe biking options to
connect to schools, facilities, shops, parks, the city centre, attractions and homes.
The CyWay network will help us achieve that and create a city where everyone can move around safely and freely.
The network aligns with Rotorua’s Urban Cycling Strategic Plan and through connectivity, enhances the
assets our city has to offer for both residents and visitors, also growing our reputation as a cycling destination.
Why this project is important:The CyWay network focuses on separating cars and bikes wherever possible, especially on high speed or high volume roads. Safety is the biggest barrier to more people biking.
• The CyWay network will provide travel choices for people and promote biking as a safe, convenient, healthy and enjoyable option for getting around Rotorua.
• Rotorua’s natural landscape gives us an advantage in terms of becoming a favourite, internationally recognised place to ride.
• It will grow Rotorua’s reputation by connecting the city to the forest, lakes, tourist attractions and our unique geothermal environment.
• Biking is great for your health and great for the environment. Riding to and from work every day could reduce your risk of death from all causes by 30%.
WHAT WE WILL SEE• Ten key projects to improve and extend the existing Rotorua network.• A fully connected primary and secondary biking network linking the central
city and suburbs with improved signage and facilities.• An ongoing educational campaign to encourage safe, family biking and
raise awareness and tolerance among all road users.
Rotorua Lakes Council is leading the CyWay project with advice and support from community advocates.We are committed to providing an integrated, safe, accessible biking network that will bring social, health, economic and environmental benefits to our district.
We are working on a partnership model with funds sourced from external organisations, donations, sponsorship and national transport initiatives as well as investment from the Council.
1 Ranolf Link (options being investigated)
It’s proposed this would be a direct connection from Springfield to the city centre and connect to the Green Corridor and Lake Road.
Investigations are underway and we want to know what residents think about what’s proposed and if they support having a cycleway, what type they think it should be.
2 Malfroy School Link (proposed)
A safe bike route could connect to eight schools in the area and Council is keen to know what people think.
What should the route be? What type of cycleway would be needed i.e. shared footpath, on the road with painted markings, on the road with traffic separators?
3 Devon Link (proposed)
This could provide a connection with the central city and between key facilities such as the stadium and conference and other sports facilities.
What do you think about this idea? If you support a proposed Devon Link, what type of cycleway do you think it should be?
4 Springfield (planned and underway)
As well as providing safe biking connections to schools here, this link will link with other suburbs of Rotorua, the central city, the mountainbiking park
at Waipa and the city’s tertiary institute.
Council is engaging with the school community and residents living along the planned route are informed.
5 Inner City Link (proposed)
This will provide an attractive bike and pedestrian friendly connection between the central city, the lakefront and Rotorua’s iconic parks – Kuirau Park and Government Gardens. It will also link to the sulphur reserve.
Planning has not yet started and general feedback is welcome.
6 Whakarewarewa Forest Link (proposed)
This would provide a family-friendly alternative entrance, via a suspension bridge, to Rotorua’s popular redwoods area and beyond. It’s envisaged this link would be multi-use.
Early discussions are underway and general feedback is welcome.
7 Ngongotaha Link (options developed)
Three options are being considered for this link which, it is envisaged, would provide an off-road shared use pathway connecting Ngongotaha to the central city.
We want to know what you think and which option you prefer.
8 Waiwhero Stream/Kawaha Pt Rd (options developed)
This would provide a safe, scenic off-road connection between the Ngongotaha cycleway and the mountainbike park at Skyline Rotorua.
Several options are being considered and we want to know what you think.
9 Morey St/ Brent Rd (partly completed, further development planned)
This connects to schools and other educational facilities in the area and the Morey Street cycleway is being well used and almost complete.
Council is now engaging with the community about what is needed/wanted in Brent Road and feedback is wanted.
10 Ward Ave/McIntyre Reserve
This will link Fenton Street to the forest via McIntyre Reserve.
What about other areas and projects?
Other cycleways, such as in other suburbs and around Lake Rotorua, may be added to the CyWay network in future if/when possible.
