This week's Nor'West News reports that Papanui Road outside St Andrew's College is set to have a signalised pedestrian crossing installed, following a recommendation to the City Council by the Waimāero/Fendalton-Waimairi-Harewood Community Board. The site was assessed as having the highest priority in Christchurch for a signalised crossing to support school safety.

There may be heavier traffic down Main North Road & on Prestons Road (through to Marshland Road) from 25 October to 2 November, due to the closure of the Chaneys / Empire Road offramp – see this information from the Christchurch Northern Corridor project for more details.
