These routes Planning Document 2016, and Local Path Routes were called provide safe connections to local destinations such as schools, town centres, public transport stops, and “Greenways” routes. The term Local Path, rather than “Greenway”, recreation spaces. is used throughout this report, as this is the current usage agreed by Central to the concept of Auckland Paths is that they are designed to provide ‘active transport’ options, appealing the Ōrākei Local Board, Auckland Council and Auckland Transport. especially to those in the community that may not be comfortable cycling or walking on streets where cars are However when referring directly to the original Ōrākei Greenways prioritised. The Ōrākei Local Paths Plan also includes Express Paths, major active transport routes that form the Planning Document the original title is used. framework for connecting Local Paths. Many of the Ōrākei Local Paths are also attractive green routes popular for recreational use. Of the thirteen Ōrākei Local Paths, most will require some level of Auckland Transport partnership to complete the entire route. Several projects with direct benefit to the Ōrākei Local Paths network are included in the 2018 Regional Land Transport Plan (RLTP): The Glen Innes to Tamaki Drive Shared Path: completion of all sections. The Tamaki Drive Cycle Route (on Tamaki Drive between Ngapipi Rd and Quay St). Gowing Drive Link to the Glen Innes to Tamaki Drive Shared Path. In general, Auckland Transport advises that the Remuera/Ellerslie area is a priority for the Cycling Investment Programme 2018-28, in the second half of the 10 year programme (i.e. from 2023). Specific routes have not yet been confirmed. The Ōrākei Local Board Plan establishes priorities for investment and development for several Local Path Routes. While these are noted, baseline information for all of the 13 Routes, including the Routes listed above, was compiled and assessed on a uniform basis in order to provide a robust assessment of each individual Route within the complete Local Paths network. (Appendix B Route Prioritisation Analysis). Ōrākei Local Paths Programme Plan Recommendations Routes from Greenways Planning Document 2016 page 3 The Purpose of this Report The purpose of this Programme Plan is to provide the Ōrākei Local Board with Recommendations for a prioritisation of Local Path Routes from the Ōrākei Local Paths Plan, adopted by the Ōrākei Local Board in 2016. The Programme Plan Recommendations will enable the Ōrākei Local Board and staff to prioritise Local Paths network projects within the current and projected funding environment for the Ōrākei Local Board, Auckland Council and Auckland Transport and potential other partners. Routes 1.0-13.0 are identified in the Ōrākei Greenways Planning Document (2016). 1.0 Tamaki Drive 2.0 Tamaki Drive to Glen Innes 3.0 Remuera Ridge to St Heliers 4.0 Ellerslie to the Sea 5.0 Eastern Corridor 6.0 Greenlane to the Sea 7.0 Parnell Corridor 8.0 Remuera Walkways 9.0 Ōrākei Basin Walkways 10.0 Kepa Bush Walkways 11.0 Whenua Rangatira/Takaparawha Park 12.0 St Heliers Glendowie Network 13.0 Whenua Rangatira/Takaparawha Park to Terenia (train) The Ōrākei Local Paths (Routes 1.0 –13.0 from the Greenways Planning Document 2016) are a combination of types of Routes, designated as Local Paths, Express Paths, and Trails (as defined by the Local Path Design Guide 2017, adopted by Auckland Council and Auckland Transport). Further definition of these Route types is covered in the Key Guidelines and Benchmarks section of this report. Note that the scope of this report is limited to the Local Path routes which have been adopted in The Ōrākei Local Paths Plan (2016). It does not include revisions or additions to routes. However significant route amendments incorporated in the analysis are: Auckland Transport’s preferred coastal route for the Tamaki to Glen Innes Shared Path Section 4 (shown as the Ngapipi Rd route in the Ōrākei Local Paths Plan (2016)). The Gowing Drive Link to Tamaki to Glen Innes Shared Path Section 2 (Auckland Transport funding contribution allocated in the 2018 Draft RLTP). Note that Route 2.0 Tamaki Drive to Glen Innes is being implemented as the Auckland Transport and NZTA project The Glen Innes to Tamaki Drive Shared Path - Te Ara Ki Uta Ki Tai. This report generally adopts the project name, except where referring to Ōrākei Local Board’s Routes, as above. The Route is also referred to in Ōrākei Local Board documents as the Ōrākei Spine. In Appendix B, the abbreviation GI2TD Shared Path is used where required by space limitations.
