Detailed information about the project SECTION 1: Suffolk Reserve The first section of the cycleway goes through Suffolk Reserve from Takau Street, joining the northern edge of Ian McKinnon Drive under the Newton Road Bridge. Newton Road on-ramp This section of the cycleway is approximately 200m long and is proposed to be a 3m wide 1.8m handrail concrete path that is shared by pedestrians and width people on bikes. The route of the path through the reserve is currently indicative until further onsite investigation works are completed. The current route has been selected to minimise the impact on surrounding properties and vegetation, while avoiding the steepest parts of the hill. 3.5m 3.5m 2m 0.5m 0.5m traffic lane traffic lane footpath SECTION 2: Ian McKinnon shoulderDrive shoulder This section covers Ian McKinnon Drive, starting near Section A Newton Road Bridge and finishing at Upper Queen Street. We have shortlisted two options for this section of the cycleway, which are outlined on the next four pages. 1-3m 3.5m 3.5m 0-1m 3.5m 3.5m 1-2m 3m grass verge traffic lane traffic lane flush traffic lane traffic lane grass verge cycleway / footpath boundary boundary 15m total road 21 - 23m road 0 1 2 3 4 5m EXISTING LAYOUT: Ian McKinnon Drive Section B drawing no IZ053200 project Ian McKinnon Drive Cycleway Ian McKinnon Drive Cycleway date December 2015 drawn JA/JRM Option 1 Minor Improvements reviewed by Joshua Aldridge / Sam Corbett Option A: Replace one south bound traffic lane along upper and lower Ian McKinnon Drive This option involves constructing a new 3m wide two-way cycleway on the northern side of Ian McKinnon Drive. The cycleway will use one of the existing city bound traffic lanes heading up Ian McKinnon Drive towards Upper Queen Street. To ensure there are still two traffic lanes in this direction, one of the southbound traffic lanes (heading out of the CBD towards Dominion Road) will be removed for the entire length of the cycleway. PROPOSED OPTION A: Looking towards Upper Queen St Key features of Option A are: • A 3m wide two-way cycleway with 0.5m wide raised island providing separation from the traffic lane (similar to Beach Road). • Two city bound traffic lanes. • One south bound traffic lane.
