What does the Long Term Plan mean for the Papanui

What does the Long Term Plan mean for the Papanui area? The Christchurch City Council has published a draft Long Term Plan, which outlines how much planned services and projects will cost, how they will be funded, and what rates will need to be. Here are some highlights:
🛣️The Greers, Northcote & Sawyers Arms intersection safety improvement project ($7m) is deleted.
🛣️The Northcote Road Corridor Improvement project ($15m) is deleted.
🚦Funding for traffic lights at the Greers/Langdons intersection ($1.8m) remains. This leaves a shortfall (the cost estimate is $2.58m), but Council staff anticipate that this shortfall can be covered from within existing budgets.
🚴‍♀️Nor'West Arc section 3 funding increases $10m to $21m, in line with cost estimates to complete this project, which will link Harewood Road through to the University of Canterbury.
🚴‍♀️No change is proposed to funding for the Wheels to Wings – Papanui ki Waiwhetū cycleway.
🛣️$2m is added for Breens/Gardiners/Harewood intersection safety.
🎠Play space renewals at Regency Reserve, Norrie Park, and Momorangi Reserve remain funded ($0.25m), but the budget is pushed back from 2024/25 to around 2026.
🛣️Budget for intersection safety improvements at Prestons & Main North Road and also at Prestons & Grimseys ($1.8m total) is deleted. Council staff advise these projects are not necessary due to changed traffic patterns following the opening of the Northern Corridor motorway.
🚴‍♀️Cycle Connections funding associated with the Northern Line MCR is delayed but increased from $0.5m to $3.3m.
⌨️Have your say: the draft Long Term Plan is open for feedback until 21 April 2024. See link in bio for more info.

From 8 April to 26 April, expect the railway cross

From 8 April to 26 April, expect the railway crossing at Sturrocks Road to be closed for continuing works in that area. This should be the last closure associated with the construction of the path between Sturrocks Road and Tuckers Road. Note also that from 15 April to 2 May, an unrelated project to upgrade a wastewater main will be at the Tuckers Road railway crossing. This will involve a road closure, which will mean between 15 to 26 April, there will be closures at both Tuckers Road and Sturrocks Road railway crossings. Take care if you're in the area and watch for changed traffic conditions and detours. See link in bio for more info.

There'll be temporary traffic management and a 30 km/h speed limit at the Harewood/Greers intersection for approximately four weeks from Wednesday 10 April.

Keep an eye out for changed traffic conditions and take care if you're in the area. See link in bio for more info.
