The gap between two existing footpaths on Motupipi Street and Abel Tasman Drive in Tākaka has finally been filled.

We’ve signed a lease agreement with Fonterra for the land that the path is on. We are extremely grateful to Fonterra for getting on board and allowing us to get this path in place for the community.

The new shared aggregate path is 2.5 metres wide with a pedestrian crossing near number 83 Motupipi Street which will greatly improve cyclist and pedestrian safety along this popular route.

Money for this shared pathway project came from the previous Government’s Better Off Funding to benefit the wider community and iwi outcomes.
