GWRC are calling for submissions on the Regional Policy Statement, due 8 June 2009. This covers broad environmental policy, but it would be good if the Great Harbour Way was written into it, in particular the concept of a path around the harbour as close as possible to the waters edge. Could also ask for concept of a regional cycling network to be incorporated. Is anyone planning a CAW submission - if not I'll draft one.

Hutt News article details changes to cycling route at the Petone overbridge:

"The joint NZTA/Hutt City Council (HCC) project will provide an off road cycleway adjacent to Hutt Road connecting with a ramp under the Petone overbridge. This ramp will link the path with cycle facilities on State Highway 2's on-ramp, separating cyclists from the Petone Esplanade roundabout when heading south"

Also, Hutt City support for GHW feasiblity study:

URGENT - please contribute to a stocktake of of all regionally significant recreational / tourism cycle routes (off and on road) throughout the country. Submit your routes before 23 March 09 (Monday).
