Kapiti Cycling Incorporated

The Kapiti Rd blackspot

Kapiti Cycling has been working to get the Kapiti Rd problems addressed since 2002:

  • Completed pathway along South side of Kapiti Road - Lobbying started in 2002!.
  • Successfully lobbied to have it listed as one of the 10 priority routes in the Kapiti Coast Disctrict Council's 'Cycleway Walkway Bridleway' (CWB) selection.
  • Continual lobbying through the CWB Working Group meetings and Road Safety Consulting Group Meetings. Current focus is on safe cycling improvements at Lindale Interchange and along Kapiti Rd at Arawhata Rd & Te Roto Dve intersections.

Despite many many hours of discussions and meetings no significant progress is obvious.

Creating safe cycling between Paekakariki and Otaki

Cycle paths in Kapiti often lead cyclists onto SH1 where they share the road with high-speed traffic. To change this Kapiti Cycling Inc lobbies and assists:

  • local government
  • community boards
  • Land Transport New Zealand
  • Greater Wellington Regional Council.

We would like to see the cycleway extend to Levin and to Palmerston North.
