More than 50 changes have been made to the package of proposed transport projects in the Cranford Street area, downstream of the Christchurch Northern Corridor, however the St Albans Residents Association is pressing for a greater focus on car reduction. A 'peaceful protest' is planned for Monday morning, coinciding with the joint Community Board meeting to consider submissions and a staff recommendation that the Boards support the revised plan. Click through to this Facebook event for more details.
On Monday 9 September there’ll be a joint meeting of the Papanui-Innes and Linwood-Central-Heathcote Community Boards. The meeting is due to start at 9:30am in the Council Chambers, and the Boards will hear from around 50 submitters who wish to speak to their submissions on the Council’s proposed transport projects in the Cranford St area (downstream of the Christchurch Northern Corridor). The meeting will also consider a staff report and a recommendation that the Boards recommend that Council approves a scheme design that has been modified based on the public feedback. The meeting is open for the public to attend. To read more about changes made to the design, and for a link through to the staff report, see:
