Updates

We are improving safety for all users on Antigua Street between Moorhouse Avenue and St Asaph Street and at Antigua Street footbridge. The delivery of these projects was delayed to allow for a number of Government funded projects to proceed.

Construction on the Antigua Street cycle connection is now programmed from May to November 2025. View the project page here.

Antigua Street cycleway connection

Why we’re building a cycleway

Antigua Street is used by approximately 1000 - 1200 cyclists every day and is the final connection for one of our busiest cycleways, Quarrymans Trail. We are now planning the final connection from Moorhouse Avenue into the central city. We would like to hear your feedback on this final stage.

The proposed design of the new cycleway focuses on safety and accessibility for all users along Antigua Street including cyclists, pedestrians, local businesses and the Metro Sport facility.

We will also be enhancing the area with new street trees and landscaping.

What you need to know

The proposed design for the new cycleway will involve:

  • A 2.2m wide separated one-way cycle lane on each side of Antigua Street from Moorhouse Avenue to St Asaph Street
  • Raised platforms outside 230b Antigua Street and 184 Antigua Street
  • A speed reduction to 30km/h
  • All on-street parking will be on the west side of Antigua Street. All parking has been removed from the east side to include the new separated cycleway and provide clear sightlines from driveways, and a safe environment for cyclists and pedestrians
  • New landscaping along Antigua Street which includes new street trees
  • Installation of two P10 parking spaces on Halkett Street outside Antigua Food Bar

Antigua Street footbridge

Antigua Street footbridge gets congested with cyclists and pedestrians, especially at peak hours. We are improving safety for all users by:

  • reducing the size of the raised garden outside Boat Shed Café and widening the shared path
  • refreshing markings on the path to highlight the shared path and a new ‘slow zone’
  • relocating the garden edge seating and cycle counter away from the shared path
