Auckland Transport is asking residents what they would like the kerbside space in the city centre to be used for.
Feedback opens on Wednesday on a plan to increase the number of pick-up and drop-off spaces, mobility parks, taxi stands and loading zones, and to add parking spaces for motorcycles, bikes and scooters.
At the moment, 58 percent of the kerbside space in the Auckland's city centre is used for general parking.
There is 21 percent allocated to busses and coaches and 11 percent is used for loading zones, or for pick ups and drop-offs.
Auckland Transport's Group manager of Transport Network Planning and Policy Andrew McGill said residents, business owners, delivery drivers and tradies have been asking for more space for quick drop-offs and pick-ups.
"We've also heard people want better access for being dropped off for a night out at the Civic Theatre or Aotea Centre near Queen Street's arts quarter," he said.
"We have also looked at options for increasing the number of mobility parks on city centre streets to make it easier for people who have more limited transport choices."
Public consultation is open until 30 March.
Feedback will be used to map out a multi-year plan called Room to Move in the city centre.
