What happens next?
We expect construction to begin in October 2022.
Consultation has now closed.
People were able to provide feedback from 4 March 2022 to 29 March 2022. During this time we heard from 38 individuals and groups.
The majority of submitters supported the changes (21). Due to how the question was framed, not all submitters indicated that they supported or opposed the proposal.
Key themes
Main comments made by submitters were:
- London Street between Canterbury Street and Oxford Street should paved to show it is a shared zone (5)
- The speed limit should be 30km/h or slower (5)
- London Street should be one way (3)
- The kerb build-outs on Sumner Road were a concern (6) as the large trucks that use this route wouldn’t be able to make the turn from Oxford Street to Sumner Road
- Did not support any of the changes (2)
Other comments included:
- The zebra crossings on London Street are not necessary
- Include orange beacons at all the zebra crossings
- Move the zebra crossing on Norwich Quay as it is dangerous where it is now
- Include mobility parking spaces outside the supermarket
Changes from the feedback
- No parking restrictions outside Lyttelton information centre
