Neighbours of the Kamo Shared Path had the chance to ask questions about the project at an information session.
Whangārei District Council senior roading engineer Nick Marshall said around 35 people turned up at the open afternoon at Kamo Intermediate on Thursday.
Engineers involved in the project were on handwith maps to show the community the route, the progress and answer any questions they had.
Marshall said there were less than the number of people who turned up to the first open afternoon, held at Whau Valley School on September 27, but he thought that was probably because many from the Kamo area attended the first one, and the weather was "fairly awful".
Marshall said people asked how long each stage would take, where the route was, what the impact would be on their properties, whether there would be CCTV and lighting and what future plans the council has?
The Kensington Ave to Kamo Rd section was expected to take a further three to five weeks.
The rail underpass from Adams Place to Fisher Terrace, would be constructed over the Christmas and New Year period.
The contract for stage three, from Kamo Rd to Jack St, was approved last week and construction is planned to start before Christmas and finish around May 2019.
The path from Jack St to Fisher Terrace will be started early next year and finished in mid 2019.
Stage five - an extension to Kamo Village is part of the future plans.
A section from Vinery Lane to Cross St is open, as is Cross St to Kamo Rd.
