Have you ridden the recently-opened Papanui Parallel cycleway yet? This Sunday 9 July from 11am you can explore the cycleway with this community event, meeting at Rutland Reserve and finishing at Edgeware Village. See the flyer for details or contact the St Albans Residents’ Association. PS if you’re using the cycleway, take care between Rutland Street & Edgeware Road, as that section is still under construction.

QEII Drive Update

Starting the night of Sunday 2 July they will be installing steel safety barriers on QEII Dr, from Grimseys Rd to Innes Rd. The site clearance work involves tree felling and vegetation removal along QEII Dr. This will allow work to start on building two new traffic lanes to upgrade QEII Dr to four lanes of traffic. The work may impact your travel time. ^JP
