Hunua Road Footpath
The Franklin Local Board has identified this project as a priority. Initial site investigations and community engagement activities have been completed to better understand local needs and gather feedback. A 270-metre footpath is proposed from the service station to the corner of Cowan Road. The project is currently in the scoping and investigation phase. Findings and potential options will be presented to the Local Board to seek guidance and direction on the preferred way forward.
Hūnua.
Pedestrian connectivity in rural settlements such as Hūnua, Ararimu and Paparimu is compromised by the lack of safe, separated paths.
In Ararimu, the village path has demonstrated that pedestrian linkages in rural communities can be very successful, encouraging more local recreation and reducing vehicle trips by providing usable pedestrian and cycling connections.
Hūnua Road footpath, service station to Cowan Road
Pedestrian connections within Hūnua Village stops abruptly at the service station, with walking on the road a safety risk and a deterrent to many.
This trail will extend the existing footpath to Cowan Road. This will almost complete a loop connection around Hūnua Village.
