The commissioning of the signalised pedestrian crossings at Harewood, Langdons, and Sawyers Arms Roads has been completed. The crossings are all now operational, as are railway automatic gates at Harewood and Langdons Roads. Take care if you're in the area as the activation of the crossings may affect traffic conditions. The project is forecast to cost $12.6m in total, over a million dollars under budget.

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.
