This popular event has grown from year to year, and has now known as Summer with your Neighbours. Small subsidies are available to help cover costs and support events.

Commissioning of the signalised pedestrian crossin

Commissioning of the signalised pedestrian crossings on Harewood, Langdons, and Sawyers Arms Roads is underway. The Council advises that "all going well", from Wednesday 16 July work on these crossings will be complete and all new signals will be operational. KiwiRail is completing commissioning works on the railway, and on 15 July the new crossings and railway signalling system will be tested. Trains may be traveling more slowly during this time and on Tuesday temporary traffic lights will be used to stop traffic for up to five minutes at each crossing as commissioning takes place.

Streets in Papanui Ward (and citywide) adjacent to

Streets in Papanui Ward (and citywide) adjacent to schools are set to have a variable speed limit of 30 km/h, where there is not currently either a permanent or variable speed limit of 30 km/h during school travel periods. Council last week voted to adopt a Speed Limits around Schools plan. Note that the Council previously approved reduced speeds for significantly larger areas of Papanui, Northcote, and Redwood, but those changes can not be implemented due to the Government issuing a new Setting of Speed Limits Rule in 2024. The latest Council decision will impact speeds on roads adjacent to a number of local schools, including: Redwood Primary School; Te Kura o Matarangi Northcote School; St Bede's College; Marian College; Papanui Primary School; Casebrook Intermediate School; Wairakei School (Christchurch); and Waimairi School.

The shared path linking Grassmere and Rutland Stre

The shared path linking Grassmere and Rutland Streets is set to be closed through most of July for construction of the Grassmere to Mays Water Supply Link. The path is part of the Papanui Parallel major cycle route, and both cyclists and pedestrians will be required to detour while work is underway, which will also impact the link through Rutland Reserve to Cranford Street. The work is part of a package of enabling infrastructure projects supported by Infrastructure Acceleration Funding to enable housing development in the East Papanui / Cranford Basin area. $30.9 million in infrastructure funding for Papanui was announced in 2022.
