Middle Renwick Road (State Highway 6) in Blenheim is getting cycle lanes thanks to some welcome funding from Waka Kotahi NZ Transport Agency.
The upgrade will provide a separate, defined lane for cyclists and a painted buffer line between the cycle lane and the traffic lane, making it easier for drivers to pass cyclists at a safe distance.
The public consultation is open until 5.00pm on Monday 14 December. People are encouraged to view the designs and submit their feedback.
The Council's Sustainable Transport Manager Braden Prideaux said so far 13 submissions had been received.
That's a good start but we'd like more. We're half way through the consultation period and we're sending reminder letters out to local businesses, residents and schools this week.
I'd like to thank those who have shared their views with us already, but I'd encourage anyone who lives or works locally or who travels by bike in the Springlands area to have their say.
