K'  Road Enhancements

Working together towards a bright future.

Auckland Transport & Auckland Council

Auckland Council and Auckland Transport are making improvements to Karangahape Road, while aiming to preserve the road's unique character. The updates will create a street environment that supports the local community and meets the needs of a growing population. The changes will enhance our vibrant and dynamic street life by creating accessible, people friendly public spaces. This will be done by:
  • decluttering footpaths, creating more space for people
  • adding a cycleway in each direction, connecting to existing and planned cycleways
  • adding more bike parking, lighting and street furniture
  • adding peak hour bus lanes to improve the reliability and predictably of bus services
  • enhancing the natural environment with rain gardens, landscaping, vegetation and trees
  • creating more opportunities for outdoor dining and street activities
  • creating an environment that reflects Maori cultural values
