Waitai Coastal-Burwood-Linwood Community Board
Transport
Helping communities get from A to B is a key responsibility of local government, from making sure the buses run on time to providing car parking and walking and cycling paths. Whether public transport is the responsibility of the regional or local council depends on where you are in the country. Local councils also own 87% of New Zealand’s roads.

Advocate for better public transport by providing routes that best serve vulnerable residents in the eastern suburbs and connect them to the rest of the city.
Create safer walking and cycling paths with well-lit footpaths and dedicated cycle lanes that link schools, shops and community spaces.
Prioritise roading infrastructure to reduce congestion, improve road safety and ensure resilience against flooding and extreme weather.
Get Paywave on the bus networks to ensure that irregular and one-off users have access to the system.
Promote safe cycling and e-scootering in Burwood with dedicated bike lanes on major roads that do not hinder traffic lanes.
Ensure a sensible mix of transport options that are practical and affordable.
Repair physical spaces such as roading, footpaths and bridges so they are accessible to all.
Stop speed bumps being put at intersections where there are traffic lights. Previously voted against this and will continue to do so.
Make Burwood’s green spaces safer and secure for cyclists and walkers as a priority while not overspending on cycleways.
Put some money into more programmes for cyclists at school.
