Consultation is open on the planned renewal of Condell Avenue, between Matsons Ave and Blighs Rd.
The proposed project will:
- replace the deep-dish gutter with shallow kerb and channel;
- improve drainage;
- reconstruct the footpath and road;
- provide a narrower crossing point near the retirement villages;
- and improve road markings.
Condell Avenue is one of 16 avenues in Papanui that were planted with trees as a living memorial to soldiers who died during World War II. The associated heritage status means that any alteration to Council land requires resource consent, and as a result of this restriction only limited improvements are proposed.
To provide separation between trees and power lines all trees on the eastern side of the road are proposed to be removed, with trees retained on the western side only.
