Marlborough Walking and Cycling Strategy Appendix I: Marlborough Track Upgrade and Development Programme This list provides an inventory of proposed track development and upgrade works over future years with many of these also identified on the 3 network plans. Funding has also been included for implementing this programme within the Strategy Action Plan. This funding allocation has been split between both urban and rural projects. A spread sheet is also proposed to provide detailed upgrade specifications, costs and a 10 year prioritised work programme. Signage is currently planned for many of these tracks or will be developed in conjunction with the track development. Off-Road Shared Tracks - for Upgrade or Development Blenheim & Wairau Blenheim Urban Accessways - covered under contract A signage, barrier removal and upgrade works programme is underway to improve accessibility. Additional linkages are sought where possible, with Lane Street road-end through to Budge Street a potential example. Taylor River Floodway Reserve Paths Riverside Park Area Construct a concrete path between Henry Street footbridge car park and Riverside Park on the true left bank. Construct a path between the confluence of the Taylor and Opawa Rivers and Snowden Crescent. Construct a gravel track between Snowden Crescent to Marshal Place and it would be desirable to extend track further east. Extend a path on the true right bank from Riverside Park to as for as possible adjacent to Park Terrace heading east. Hutcheson Bridge to Burleigh Street Bridge A well used concrete path exists along much of this section on both sides of the river. Potential additions are addressed below as follows: Construct pedestrian access from Andrew Street and Russell Street through to the river – as per Urbanisim + recommendations. Upgrade & extend shared paths from Purkiss Street to Burleigh Road on both sides of River. Construct a concrete path on the eastern side of the river between Athletic Park and Burleigh Bridge while retaining the exiting gravel track. Install a gravel track along western side of river along the same section. Retain and/or install additional gravel tracks on both sides of the river along the Taylor between Riverside Park and Burleigh Bridge in addition to the concrete paths. These will cater better for a range of users, including dog walkers, runners and cyclists to improve path safety and ease congestion. Install a sign and interpretation package along the Taylor from Riverside Park to the Dam Reserve to assist users and promote access. Create additional linkages between town and the river where feasible; Market Street (North), Dashwood and Andrew Streets. xxiii
