More room on the way up the hill
The shared path that leads up Control Gates Hill is being widened to improve safety and accommodate more users.
An upgraded path has been designed to allow pedestrians, cyclists, wheelchair users, buggies and prams to use it simultaneously. It is being widened in line with our Walking and Cycling Strategy and in consultation with Bike Taupo.
The path is currently only 1.4 metres wide, which does not easily accommodate people travelling in both directions. The new route will be up to three metres wide, which should allow for an easy flow of traffic.
The project kicked off on Monday and will affect a 500 metre section starting just south of Control Gates Bridge.
