The 5.3 million dollar Victoria St cycleway is part of roadworks currently reducing the city centre to a standstill.
It's understood a section will be dug up for a new linear park - with native trees, plantings and pavings.
The cycleway runs from Nelson St all the way past Victoria Park to the bottom of College Hill.
A 2016 council report says section of the cycleway between Nelson St and Halsey St, will be replaced by cycling within the public space of the linear park and on-street cycling.
National MP for Auckland Central Nikki Kaye says it doesn't make sense to dig up Victoria St again in a couple of years.
She'll be asking for a briefing.
