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.

Hi neighbours,
Cleaning your windows should be a regular routine as having a build-up of dirt and other filth can lead to problems further down the road and potentially cost you more money, and heat efficiency.

Cleaning your windows should be a regular routine as having a build-up of dirt and other filth can lead to problems further down the road and potentially cost you more money, and heat efficiency.
You can keep your new windows looking their best for many years by following a few simple tips:
- Vacuum inside the frame and hinges
- Brush off dirt
- Use a warm soapy solution and a soft cloth or sponge to wipe down the dirty window
- Rinse with clean water
Windows have working parts so it's essential that these parts are well maintained to ease the friction of the moving parts inside your window frames.
To keep your windows in great condition for years it's best to keep the inner chambers of your windows clean and clear of built-up residue.
If you need an expert to assess your windows & doors, give us a call today on 0800 252500 or click the link to book a visit!

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!

Kaige Chase, Gabriel Moaate-Minhinnick, Olivia Kim, Genesis Blakelock and Angelina Tuiono asked the board to take their concerns to Auckland Transport after incidents involving children walking to school.
"We realise this is probably about money but saving money in the old days has just stored up problems for today," they said.
The students told the board a six-year-old boy fell into the drain.
Another boy failed in his attempts to rescue him.
But a motorist intervened and pulled him to safety.
In another incident, a driver leaving the carpark opposite drove into the drain.
“The incident with the boys led to temporary fixes that involved some orange plastic fencing, but it just seems to have become a permanent solution," the students said.
"Now it is breaking down and probably ending up polluting our sea.”
The drain had become overgrown, with the school spending money battling gorse and weeds and building a large fence to keep students safe, they said.
The pupils urged the board to infill the drain to create more parking and drop-off zones.
Board chair Brent Catchpole said he was impressed with the amount of research that went into their deputation.
"These young people did not just come along to complain," he said.
"They gathered evidence, thought about the problem and even outlined possible solutions."
The board will refer the matter to Auckland Transport and Healthy Waters, asking for a quick response, he said.
