I understand that the New Lynn to Avondale shared path has been delayed by the fact that Kiwirail vetoed a rail crossing at the junction with St Georges Road as too dangerous and the plans had to be redone, now with an underpass. That implies a major delay for the project and so I also understand that they do intend to do the first leg of it from Blockhouse Bay rd to Chalmers Reserve first. However as you say nothing has happened yet and so I'd question whether that will meet published dates.

I think that the entire urban cycle fund programme in Auckland was far too ambitious in terms of its timescale for delivery and this has been proven given that almost nothing has been delivered so far.
