Community engagement in the Papanui Ward in Christchurch, New Zealand
The QEII Drive shared path for pedestrians and cyclists is going to be closed between Main North Rd and Grimseys Rd for four months from Monday 8 July, while it is upgraded and widened as part of the Christchurch Northern Corridor (CNC) project. See these images for more information.
Have you noticed the construction work west of Cranford Street just past Placemakers? A few people have contacted Think Papanui to ask what’s being built. The CNC Alliance has confirmed this is the city end of the shared user path that will allow pedestrians & cyclists to travel the length of the Northern Corridor. (See the plan for a detail of the signalised crossing that will be built just north of the new Cranford St roundabout.)
Today Thursday 4 July at 6:30pm there’s the second of the Council’s information sessions for people interested in standing as candidates in this year’s local body elections. Click through for details.
At their meeting on 28 June, the Waipapa/Papanui-Innes Community Board: approved a Stop control and No Stopping lines at the intersection of Nyoli Street and Sawyers Arms Road; approved a grant to St Albans Community Preschool; laid Aratupu Preschool’s grant application on the table, awaiting the new financial year when more funding will be available; approved a Positive Youth Development grant; and more.
