A call for Tauranga City Council to transform Pilot Bay Boardwalk into a shared pedestrian and cycleway is gaining momentum with more than 200 people having signed a petition.
The 920m-long boardwalk opened in 2013.
It's official legal status is a footpath, meaning cyclists are banned from using it.
Mount Maunganui resident Jo Wills has gathered 221 signatures on a petition which calls on council to remove the no-cycling ban and replace signage with a "Share with Care" sign.
On Thursday, Ms Wills will present the petition to Tauranga City councillors.
