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.
