Inner city pedestrian improvements

Related links

The designs for raised crossings at the three intersections on Hardy Street and at the Wakatu Lane car park entrance on Trafalgar Street have been tendered and construction is scheduled for after Easter.  This is in keeping with the following goal from the Heart of Nelson Strategy:

  • Improving the functionality of existing intersections, creating safer environments for drivers, pedestrians and cyclists.
  • Building on existing landscaping interventions within the CBD by undertaking further streetscape improvements.

Why does it need changing?

All of these intersections are in very busy pedestrian areas but the priority current lies with vehicles. Part of the goal of making our city more user friendly is to reduce traffic speed and provide safer places for pedestrians to cross.
