Now that construction of Stage 8 The Meadows is complete, this image shows the safest route for cyclists and pedestrians to use to get from McShane Road to Lower Queen Street or vice versa.

Coming from McShane Road the path turns into The Meadows at this future intersection, continues past Summerfield Park and out across Borck Creek over the footbridge and then along the shared path in front of Waimea Plains Village out to Lower Queen Street.

This is going to be the safest route for the foreseeable future, until such time as TDC upgrade the remainder of McShane Road.
