Earlier this year the KPA made a submission to the Waimakariri District Council (WDC) requesting consultation with the KPA regarding the proposed route for the Belfast to Kaiapoi cycleway, and requesting that the route go through central Kaiapoi.
Despite this the WDC have selected a preferred route that bypasses central Kaiapoi, as detailed at the attached link.

The KPA will be making a submission supporting the adoption of the Doubledays Road via the Waimakariri River Regional Park rather than the Council’s preferred route. The reason that KPA opposes the preferred route are:
If you want the WDC to reconsider their preferred route and have a cycle route that will serve both commuters and recreational riders we strongly encourage to make submissions either from your business, or personally.
I have enclosed a copy of the consultation form, and also a link to the OnLine Submission Form https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/7FLYBSH
The table has suggested wording for the various sections that you can cut and paste into the online form, or this editable PDF.
The consultation period ends at 8am Monday 12 August2019.
