Poster one Help us create the Henderson-Massey Connections Plan Local boards across Auckland have been planning and implementing Connections Plans (also referred to as Greenway Network Plans) throughout Auckland over the last 10 years. Having consistent connections across Auckland has the potential to transform how people travel every day and how they use the city. The intention of the Connections Plan is to fulfjll some of the aspirations the Local Board outlined in their Open Space Network Plan 2015 - 2025. Location We are creating a Connections Plan for the Henderson-Massey Local Board area. The intent of the connections plan is to create pedestrian and cycle connections between communities and destinations, encouraging safe travel and a reduction in vehicle use for local trips. This is your Henderson-Massey Local Board Area opportunity to have a say in where these could go. Please read this information and look at the maps and let us know what you think, include your aspirations for new walking and cycling paths along with any suggestions for changes or additions to what’s proposed.

Off-road local Express Networks are major cycleways and/or shared paths on busy streets or off-road paths run through parks and open spaces and accommodate both cyclists and pedestrians. paths. They connect people to major centres and form the base structure of the network. Together with on-street networks, they are designed to create linkages to local centres, parks, schools and transport links including Express networks.

Many trails will connect to Local or Express Networks, but may also allow for horse-riding alongside walking and cycling. A Trail can also be a bush walk, which due to topography would not be shared with cyclists. Trail networks are not generally intended to form a connection between destinations and often run in Illustrative example Grafton Gully Cycleway loops.
