The Great Harbour Way Coalition and Cycle Aware Wellington support the ten year plan, providing that it recognises the importance of the waterfront as part of the Great Harbour Way, and as a key part of Wellington's cycling network.
The Great Harbour Way is a cycling and walking route around Wellington Harbour (http://www.greatharbourway.org.nz/). The waterfront plan should include a 5m wide cycle/walk way running as close as practical to the sea edge. At the moment the plan does not seem to include this.
While in some areas an adequate pathway has been achieved, in other areas it has not (for example at Shed 5 where extensions have narrowed the available path). Future development should remove problems for cyclists and walkers such as narrow areas and blind corners. These improvements are urgent.
