Footways of Northland and Wilton, Wellington

Here is a list of footways that join streets in Northland, Wilton and a little bit of Wadestown in Wellington. We have also included access points to Tinakori Hill and Otari-Wilton's bush from these suburbs.

Most of the footways are steep and/or have steps. These are unsuitable for wheelchairs and many would present a challenge for baby-strollers.

Please send corrections, additions and suggestions to rbd [at] livingstreets.org.nz.

The problem with footpath parking

A letter to the Wellington City Council’s Infrastructure Committee


I am a pedestrian.  I use footpaths for walking and occasionally for running.  When people park their cars park on the footpath, in such a way as to prevent me from passing, I am forced to walk or run on the road.  If I am on my own, this is an annoying inconvenience and creates a minor risk to my personal safety.  This inconvenience is increased on rubbish collection days when recycling bins, wheelie bins and rubbish bags are also on the footpath.
