What we're planning

  • Signalised safe speed platform with shared pedestrian and cyclist crossing 80m north of the Stanmore Road/Avonside Drive intersection to reduce jaywalking and encourage drivers to travel at safer speeds.
  • A sharper ramp onto the platform, with a longer eased exit off the platform, resulting in a smoother ride for longer vehicles, including buses.
  • Green paint on the cycle lanes on Stanmore Road approaching to the crossing.
  • Road signs on both Stanmore Road approaches to the crossing to provide an advanced warning for drivers.
  • No stopping yellow lines to improve visibility. This results in the removal of roadside parking along the edge of the Ōtakaro Avon River Corridor – approximately seven spaces on the west side and three on the east side Stanmore Road, with more roadside parking available nearby.
  • Cycle ramps to enable north and south travelling cyclists to safely move on and off Stanmore Road at the crossing.
