Work starts in spring on 6 km of separated lanes linking the station to the river.

Work starts on the first two streets this spring, with crews adding kerb-separated lanes in both directions and raised crossings at the busiest junctions. The remaining three streets follow in the summer, once the water main renewal on Market Street is complete.

Parking stays on one side of each street, and loading bays move to side roads so deliveries no longer block the lane. Businesses along the route have received a block-by-block schedule, and access to every shop stays open throughout.

The city will count cycle and pedestrian trips before and after the work and publish the figures each quarter. Questions about a specific street can go to the helpline on 311.
