Hawkes Bay Trails: An Update from HB Regional Council

MAP: Last week - after many variations - we completed and printed the first version of the Hawke’s Bay Trails Cycling Map & Guide (available from the HBRC link below). HBRC is keen to have feedback.
WEB: Nga Haerenga New Zealand Cycle Trails site has been launched http://www.nzcycletrail.com/
HB Tourism is about to update the content on http://www.hawkesbaynz.com/Visit/Cycling-in-Hawkes-Bay/
HB Regional Council’s Cycling and walking Trails page now hosts the latest map and site links http://www.hbrc.govt.nz/GetIntoIt/Recreation/CyclingandWalkingTrails/tabid/881/Default.aspx
ON THE GROUND: Operationally, the Landscapes and Water Rides are progressing. Napier CC is due to start construction along Westshore in early June.
HBRC has awarded contracts to build the lime-sand link from Onehunga Road to the Taipo Stream at Prebensen Drive, also starting in June.
Tukituki Road widening and cycle-laning is underway with Hastings DC, but was delayed due to flood cleanup.
