A shared path is a step backward for pedestrians and cyclists in Christchurch
Living Streets Aotearoa is concerned about the recent proposal by the Mayor of Christchurch to remove an on-street, protected cycle lane on Park Tce and replace it with a shared path.
Living Streets Aotearoa does not support shared paths as conflict between users can arise due to the different speeds of pedestrians and cyclists, space constraints, and the unpredictable behaviour of some users.
