You're not wrong Alan. Well overdue. The clowns that were in charge of Auckland 40+years ago made many poor decisions regarding city layout, public transport and the harbour crossings....or lack of. Not sure if the current clowns are much better.

Jer - Cycling over the Syndey harbour bridge is awesome. And Sydney has windy days. Having a cycle lane across Auckland harbour bridge would prove very popular toll or not. A lot of people would use the cycle lane to get out of their cars. The cyclist losers would still be confined to Tamaki drive running red lights.

Best of Luck\The use of the bridge for Pedestrians or cyclesis about 30 to 40 years overdue a justification for the lscintelligence by those who built the bridge
But this is another waste of money and will be dropped into public funding as soon as they realize that they will not make money
