If you could choose to cycle or walk through the heart of your city, through leafy quiet streets, parks and school grounds, around harbour edges, would you?

If you answered yes, you’re part of the 50 percent of ‘maybe’ bike riders who would pedal around the Greenways of their city if they could.

The Greenways Project is the name we have given to our vision for a city connected by beautifully designed, constructed and planted pathways for the exclusive use of cyclists and pedestrians.

It offers a network of safe, pleasant routes (or Greenways) for people to move between neighbourhoods, away from the noise and pollution of busy roads.

As well as reducing fuel consumption, traffic congestion and pollution and making it easier to reach public transport centres, Auckland’s Greenways will make Auckland the most livable place in the world, giving families a healthy, low-cost, stress-free alternative to using their cars.

People of all ages and ability will choose Auckland’s Greenways to cycle or walk to schools, sports fields, shops, work places and transport centres.

Young people will reclaim the independence their grandparents once took for granted by moving around the city and suburbs on beautiful pathways safe from dangers like busy traffic and car doors knocking them off their bikes.
The Greenways Project is a key concept for Auckland’s future well-being and has huge economic and social advantages for Auckland.

But to make it happen, we need your help.

If you’d like to see Auckland connected by a network of tree fringed Greenways, please add your voice to our vision for a more livable city. It’s easy.
