The SkyPath over the Harbour Bridge is becoming a reality

Auckland Transport’s review of the SkyPath business case is currently being carried out by Ernst & Young. We’ve seen a draft version of the report and have provided a number of corrections and additions.  We’re confident that SkyPath’s business case is very strong and we’re looking forward to progressing the $28 million funding and delivery arrangement proposed by the Public Infrastructure Partnership Fund. And further to the news that Waterfront Auckland is spending $5.8 million on a walking and cycling around Westhaven Marina to the Harbour Bridge, it’s great to hear of a proposal to restore Shoal Bay to provide a direct walking and cycling link from Takapuna to the Bridge. While SkyPath users will be able to use existing walking and cycling connections to Takapuna, and the SkyPath isn’t reliant on this new proposal, it would be great to see the improvements suggested.

If you’d like to help (in any way, big or small), then please contact us. All the best… Andy & Bevan from www.getacross.org.nz
