WHAT ARE WE DOING:

• This project will see the construction of raised tables and speed cushions, a widened shared path, and installing a separated cycle lane.
• The project covers: Motueka Street (crossing), Tipahi Street (by the hospital and Broads playing fields), Franklyn Street (towards Waimea Road), Kawai Street and Hampden Street West.

WHY ARE WE DOING IT:

• The Streets for People project focuses on making it safer and easier for people to use active modes of transport by connecting safe streets in the area. It also aims to improve the liveability of streets for residents.

DURATION:

• Work is due to begin in late January/early February 2024. It is expected to take around 13 weeks (depending on the weather). The construction programme, along with Stage 2 road impacts, can be seen on the back of this letter.

TRAFFIC CONDITIONS:

• The works will be constructed in three stages. The first stage is the site-wide service investigation. Traffic management will be in place across all four streets intermittently. This will be for around 1 week.
• The second stage will involve the works on Motueka Street and Franklyn Street. Traffic detours will be in place, This work will cause some disruption to people travelling in the area, as people will not be able to travel down Motueka Street (from Waimea to Vanguard), nor will they be able to travel up Franklyn Street (from Vanguard to Waimea) This will be for around 4 weeks.
  
  

• The third stage of work will involve the works on both Tipahi Street and Kawai Street/Hampden Street. This will take around six weeks to complete.
• During construction, parking will be significantly reduced in the area.
