Eight community stakeholders were interviewed for this study. They were selected for their ability to represent a range of community perspectives. This research also used transcripts from three focus group discussions with adults<\/a>.<\/p>\n

These were all analysed together and five major themes were identified, which are summarised in the sections below. You can also click on the diagram below to see an overview of the findings.<\/p>\n

Road Safety<\/h3>\n

Participants generally felt the Te Ara Mua \u2013 Future Streets changes had improved road safety for people walking and using mobility devices but made driving harder and less safe. Cycling was still seen as quite unsafe, and while some thought the new bike lanes made cycling safer, others felt it was better to bike on the footpath or road.<\/p>\n

\u201cit is safer, especially for the older citizens for them to walk\u201d<\/em> (male, focus group)<\/p>\n

\u201cI get it [\u2026] they use the island to make it easier for the kids to cross [\u2026] but it’s a pain in the arse for our cars to get through\u201d<\/em> (male, focus group)<\/p>\n

Personal safety in M\u0101ngere Central remained a major concern, with participants describing the streets and reserves as looking nicer, but not feeling any safer than before, especially at night.<\/p>\n

Residents were also said to experience social barriers to walking and cycling. For example, walking and cycling was considered a symbol of not being able to afford to drive or take the bus. Cycling was described as normal for children only, while adult cycling was seen as sporty and culturally foreign to local residents.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cfrom a cultural perspective, island-based [\u2026] bikes are for kids, and that\u2019s how they should always be\u201d<\/em> (male, interview)<\/p>\n

Participants said practical barriers to walking and cycling prevented many residents from taking advantage of the new infrastructure, such as responsibility for transporting children, lack of time, and the cost of bikes.<\/p>\n

\u201c[it\u2019s] a large family-oriented community, so if you\u2019re going somewhere, you may be taking six or seven other people [\u2026] so it\u2019s easier to throw everybody in a single people mover\u201d<\/em> (female, interview)<\/p>\n

Finally, participants tended to see Te Ara Mua \u2013 Future Streets as either an under-researched experiment or as much-needed investment in a neglected area. Community engagement on the project, especially on the bike lanes, was felt to have been insufficient.<\/p>\n

M\u0101ngere community experiences of Te Ara Mua \u2013 Future Streets changes are influenced by a wide range of social, practical, and environmental factors. While street design was considered important, especially for road safety, participants in this study saw embedded social and practical factors as having more influence on local walking and cycling. As such, despite greater community engagement than most transport projects, participants lacked a strong sense of ownership over the changes. The findings suggest that personal safety concerns, local transport norms, and practical circumstances require further attention if the M\u0101ngere community is to widely realise the health benefits of increased walking and cycling.<\/p>\n
