Cyclists will have additional spots to lock up their bikes with new facilities installed as part of a cycleway trial.

Project WAVE is a $1 million cycleway trial in the Viaduct Harbour to connect the Quay and Nelson Street cycleways that could have over a thousand daily users.

Auckland Transport (AT) confirmed two new bike parking facilities able to accommodate 16 bikes have been installed as part of the trial, taking the total number of bike parks along the cycleway to 56.

The project is opposed by a group of residents and business owners.

The two new bike parking facilities are located on Customs Street West between Market Place and Lower Hobson Street. One is located near the Tepid Baths, and one is near O’Hagan’s bar.

The area now has enough space for around 56 bikes, as there were already existing facilities to accommodate 40 bikes before Project WAVE was implemented.

AT spokeswoman Natalie Polley said there are also numerous new bike parking facilities on Quay Street and in the new square as part of the Downtown project.

"That doesn’t even take into account bike parking at the ferry terminal, the AT Downtown Carpark and at many other locations on the Viaduct,” she said.

Beware of this "Win a Free Toyota' hoax!

Manukau Toyota

Hi folks!

Hi folks!
As much as we would love to be giving away free cars ... at the present time we are not.

There is a text and a Whats App message doing the rounds that suggests you could be in to win a free Toyota once you follow the link and fill out some details. This is a hoax! The page you get sent to ... screenshot below ... is nothing to do with either Papakura Toyota or Toyota New Zealand.

As a good rule of thumb, and with our Internet Aunty hat firmly on, unless you know the message is legit, best not to click on any links and certainly don't fill out your details.

Cheers to all our customers who have brought this to our attention!
